The amethyst purple tube anemone is vibrant and very active. It grabs food regularly and adds a lot of interest to the tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in my 40-gallon tank with sand substrate. It’s aggressive but not harmful to other tankmates.

Beautiful coloration and active behavior. It’s a bit aggressive and needs a stable environment. I place it on the sand bed and it’s doing well. Light level is low, as recommended. Good for intermediate reef keepers.

This anemone is stunning in appearance. The purple hue is unique and stands out. It’s very active and shows interest in food. I noticed it moving around frequently and interacting with the environment. Works well in a 30-gallon tank.
