Haitian White Tip Anemone
The Haitian White 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.

This anemone is very active and moves around the tank regularly. The pink-tipped tentacles are striking and it blends well with the reef environment. It’s a bit shy at first but settles into its spot after a few weeks. I appreciate how it buries itself in the sand, which adds natural behavior to the tank.

The anemone has grown steadily and shows no signs of stress. The tentacles are long and colorful, especially when the light hits them. It prefers a sandy area, so I made sure to provide that. It’s more mobile than other anemones I’ve had, which is a nice trait.

I’ve kept this anemone for over six months and it’s thriving. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t harm other corals. The base is quite large and it anchors well in the sand. The pink tips stand out and it looks very natural in the tank.
