This anemone adds a striking green color to the tank. It thrived in a 50-gallon reef setup with high light and medium flow. I had to be cautious with other inhabitants due to its aggressive behavior. It’s a bold choice for experienced aquarists.

Installed it in a well-established tank with proper lighting and flow. It expanded slowly but became a focal point. I kept it in a low area and avoided placing it near small crustaceans. Works well with the reef environment.
Leonard Watson –
It’s impressive in appearance, but I noticed it moved aggressively and pushed against nearby corals. Not ideal for a mixed community. Only recommended for tanks with strong boundaries and expert oversight.
