The amethyst purple tube anemone is very active and adds a lot of interest to the tank. It grabs food regularly and seems to thrive in low light. I placed it on the sand bed as recommended and it has settled well. A bit aggressive, but not a problem in a 30-gallon tank with compatible species.

It’s visually striking with its unique purple coloration. The anemone is quite active and responds to food, which makes it entertaining to watch. I’ve had it for a month and it’s grown slightly since arrival. Needs medium water flow and low light, which I have provided.

Great addition to my reef setup. The color is vibrant and the behavior is fascinating. It’s not shy about grabbing food, which is a plus. I followed the care instructions and it’s doing well in a 30-gallon tank on sand.
