Rose Bubble Anemone
Rose Bubble Anemone, Entacmaea quadricolor, is a true prize and is sure to be an aquarium showpiece for the aquarist who can provide the correct conditions. Also known as the Rose Anemone, this anemone will tend to roam initially until it finds a comfortable spot, and then will likely stay in that general vicinity. While finding its "spot", it may damage any corals with which it comes in contact along the way. This anemone is best for intermediate and advanced aquarists. It can cause a painful sting to humans and, as such, must be handled with care. Providing the Rose Bubble Anemone with a high level of lighting, excellent water conditions, and a medium water flow is a good way to help ensure its health. If the tips lose their bulbous form for an extended period of time, it is likely a sign that the anemone is in need of food, that lighting is insufficient, or that aquarium inhabitants such as bristleworms may be causing damage. Target feedings of fish, krill, or mussels are readily accepted. The addition of Iodine is a necessity for continued health.
Rose Bubble Anemone is a common host for the following Clownfish species: Cinnamon, Clarkii, Maroon, Sebae, Tomato, Yellow Stripe Maroon.
