Haitian Pink Tip Anemone
The Haitian Pink Tip Anemone, also known as the Pink-Tip Condy (scientific name: Condylactis Anemone), is found near Haiti in shallow lagoons or on inner reefs. Sometimes they are referred to as Florida Pink-Tipped Anemone as well since they can be found in other parts of the Caribbean ocean.
It has long, pink-tipped tentacles and a red foot or base. The tentacles may occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance. Generally, it likes to bury the base in the sand or into the crevice of a rock for protection. They have long tentacles and can reach up to 20 inches in length. The base of the condy can grow to the size of a tennis ball. Unlike other anemones, the Pink-Tip Condy is more likely to move.

I’ve had my Haitian Pink Tip Anemone for three months now and it’s been very active. It moves around the tank regularly and has even dug into the sand. The pink tentacles stand out beautifully in the lighting. It’s a striking addition to my reef setup.

The anemone arrived healthy and has adapted well to my saltwater tank. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t harm other corals. I appreciate how it hides in the sand when not active.

This anemone is a highlight in my tank. The color contrast is stunning, especially with the red base and pink tips. It’s more dynamic than other anemones I’ve kept.
