After months of research, this anemone finally bloomed in my 55-gallon tank. It’s vibrant and grows steadily under high light. I keep a close eye on it due to its aggressive behavior, but it’s a rewarding addition to a mature reef setup.

It’s not for the faint of heart. I had to adjust water flow and avoid placing it near corals. Once settled, it spreads well and adds a strong green color to the tank.

Grew slowly at first. The water flow and lighting were critical. I noticed it moved around aggressively, so I kept it in a low-traffic area. Works in a large tank with proper conditions.
