Anemones
Anemones are a group of aquatic animals, which are predatory in nature. They inherit their name, Anemones, from a terrestrial flower, as they resemble an Anemone’s floral disc. Fresh Marine offers several beautiful Anemones to grace your aquarium. However, prior to delving into specific models, let us understand the following standards common to Anemones:
Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). Also called as Four Colored Anemone, Maroon Bulb Anemone, Bulb Tip Anemone, Bulb Tentacle Anemone, Bulb Anemone, and Rose Anemone, Bubble Tip Anemone occurs in Tan, Orange, Brown, Red, Pink, Maroon, & common Green colors. The tentacles of Entacmaea quadricolor are short and bulbous when relaxing (so the name), while they elongate to become sweeper tentacles at the time of feeding.
Carpet Anemone (Stichodactyla haddoni). Also commonly known as Green Carpet Anemone, Haddon’s Carpet Anemone, Sand Carpet Anemone, Haddon’s Anemone, Saddle Anemone, Glass Pearl Anemone, Giant Anemone, Giant Carpet Anemone, and Saddle Carpet Anemone, Stichodactyla haddoni comes in Assorted Colors and Green color at Fresh Marine, while it also occurs in Yellow, Blue, Grey, Pink, and Tan colors. Carpet Anemones have a large, single Polyp with short, even Tentacles on the surface of their Oral Disk, resembling the appearance of a carpet.
Condylactis Anemone (Condylactis gigantean). Also commonly known as Florida Condy, Haitian Anemone, and Giant Golden Anemone, Condylactis Anemone occurs in Brown, Green, Orange, Purple, and White colors. Condylactis Anemones symbiotically host Shrimps and Diamond Blennies. These Anemones have a single, large Polyp, with a slit like central Mouth and long Tentacles. The tips of Tentacles may be Green, Purple, or Magenta in color. Reef Haitian Anemone (Condylactis species), commonly called as the Haitian Anemone, Atlantic Anemone, Pink Tip Anemone, Haitian Condylactis, and Condy Anemone is also a good variation in the range.
Long Tentacle Anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis). Also called as Corkscrew Anemone, Red Base Anemone, Sand Anemone, and Long Tentacle Red Base Anemone, Long Tentacle Anemone occurs in Brown, Orange, Red, Grey, and Purple colors & their variations. These Anemones have a single Polyp with spaced Tentacles. The base of Long Tentacle Anemone is generally Red or Orange in color.
Ritteri Anemone (Heteractis magnifica). Also commonly known as Magnificent Sea Anemone, Heteractis Magnificent Sea Anemone, Maroon Anemone, Red Radianthus, Sea Anemone, Bulb Tip Anemone, Radianthus Anemone, and Yellow Tipped Long Tentacle Anemone, Ritteri Anemone occurs in Red, Purple, Pink, Blue, Tan, Brown, Orange, and Green colors. Apart from Clownfish, these Anemones may also host Commonsals and Shrimps some times. The least hardy of all the Anemones community, the oral disc of Heteractis magnifica is well populated with around eight centimeters long, finger shaped, Green or Brown colored Tentacles, which are slightly swollen at tips at times. The Purple, Green, Red, or Brown colored column of Ritteri Anemone has vertical rows of Verrucae. The column can close in entirety assuming the shape of a ball. When rearing these Anemones, zero the Nitrites and Nitrates level in the aquarium water. Sebae Anemone (Heteractis crispa), also commonly known as Long Tentacles, Leather Anemone, Radianthus Keukenthali, Purple Tip Anemone, Pink Tip Anemone, Long Tentacle Anemone, Sebae Anemone, and Leathery Anemone, is also a great option in the range.

These Anemones have no symbiotic relationship with any animal and they live in their Tube, which is permanently buried in sand, gravel, or mud. The Oral Disc has two circles of around seventy different Tentacles with a mouth at the center. The Tentacles of Tube Anemone may be Brown, Green, or White in color with Dark Brown colored striped pattern on them. The inner ring of the tentacles has smaller sized tentacles than the ones in the outer ring.
