Ultra Sunburst Bubble Tip Anemone

The Ultra Sunburst Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a spectacular color variety of the popular Bubble Tip Anemone, prized for its brilliant fluorescent coloration and flowing tentacles. This exceptional specimen features an intensely vibrant green oral disc with intricate radial markings, complemented by striking orange to reddish-orange tentacles with contrasting green pigmentation.

Under appropriate reef aquarium lighting, its vivid coloration creates a dramatic display, making it an outstanding centerpiece for an established saltwater aquarium.

Native to tropical Indo-Pacific reefs, Entacmaea quadricolor is a photosynthetic sea anemone that maintains a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, which provide much of its nutritional energy through photosynthesis. Supplemental feedings of appropriately sized marine foods can support its nutritional needs.

Bubble Tip Anemones are also known for their fascinating relationships with clownfish, providing a natural host for several species in the wild. Their tentacles may develop characteristic bulb-shaped tips, although the degree of inflation varies with environmental conditions and individual specimens.

Care Guide

Additional Care Notes:

Bubble Tip Anemones require mature, stable aquarium conditions and should not be introduced into newly established systems. They can move around the aquarium until they find a suitable location with appropriate lighting, flow, and protection for their pedal disc.

Protect all wavemakers and pump intakes with anemone-safe guards to prevent injury. Allow generous space between the anemone and neighboring corals, as its tentacles can cause significant stinging damage.

Feed small portions of thawed mysis shrimp, finely chopped marine shrimp, or other suitable marine foods occasionally. Avoid oversized food portions and excessive feeding.
