This anemone is very active and shows interesting behavior, especially when it grabs fish food. It’s a bit aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with larger, hardy fish. It settled well in the sand bed and has grown steadily over the past few months.

The coloration is beautiful, with a soft white base and subtle yellow tones. It’s not the most peaceful anemone, but it’s fascinating to watch. I’ve had it for six months and it’s still active and healthy.

It’s a bit aggressive and I had to remove a small shrimp that was too vulnerable. Otherwise, it’s a good addition to my 30-gallon tank. The growth is steady and it’s very visible in the sand.
