Benjamin Brown –
I’ve had this anemone for three months in a 75-gallon tank with strong lighting. It’s grown steadily and now covers a large area on the rock shelf. The color is vibrant and it’s very active. I’m cautious about its aggression toward other invertebrates, but it’s manageable with proper placement.
Julian Poole –
The anemone arrived healthy and expanded well in my 60-gallon tank. I keep it in a low area with high light. It’s aggressive toward small shrimp, so I’ve had to remove them from the vicinity. Still, it’s a striking addition to the display.
Alison Fraser –
It’s a large anemone and takes time to establish. I noticed it moved around a lot and attacked a small snail. I now keep it isolated from other small creatures. It’s beautiful once settled, but requires constant monitoring.
