The anemone arrived healthy and looks beautiful in my 30-gallon tank. It’s active and shows interest in fish food, which is entertaining to watch. I’ve noticed it extends its tentacles when food is nearby. I’m cautious about adding new fish due to its aggressive nature.

It’s a striking purple anemone with unique color variation. I placed it on the sand bed and it settled well. The care level is intermediate, so I’ve adjusted water flow and lighting accordingly. It’s not aggressive toward my larger fish, but I keep a close eye on smaller ones.

The anemone looks nice, but it has been a bit aggressive toward a small shrimp. I’ve moved it to a corner with less traffic. It seems to thrive in low light and medium flow. I’d recommend caution when pairing with small invertebrates.
