Tube Anemone
Photos are a general representation of the coral. Colour and markings can vary between individuals.
Tube Anemones extend long, fine tentacles from a protective tube buried in soft substrate. Their fluorescent colours and graceful movement are eye-catching, especially in dimmer aquariums. Unlike most hosting anemones, they do not rely on strong reef lighting.
