Received the tiny white beaded sand anemone in good condition. It settled into the tank within a week and has been active since. The lighting and flow in my 30-gallon tank match the requirements. It’s not aggressive but does extend tentacles when touched. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The anemone arrived quickly and looks healthy. I’ve kept it in a moderate light setup with gentle flow. It’s been stable for over two months. A bit shy at first, but now it’s expanding its tentacles regularly. Would recommend for intermediate reef keepers.

It’s a small anemone and fits well in the low area of the tank. I noticed it didn’t expand much at first, so I adjusted the light slightly. It’s now more active. Not the most vibrant, but it’s stable and doesn’t harm other tankmates.
