The Long Tentacle Anemone features an exposed oral disc surrounded by long, flowing tentacles. It naturally anchors its foot beneath a deep sand bed, making substrate depth and aquarium maturity important for long-term care.
Key benefits:
Long Flowing Tentacles: Adds visible movement to the lower aquarium.
Sand-Bed Placement: Creates a natural focal point away from elevated rockwork.
Clownfish Host Potential: May host certain compatible clownfish species.
Specifications:
Scientific Name: Macrodactyla doreensis
Common Names: Long Tentacle Anemone, Corkscrew Anemone
Care Level: Advanced
Adult Size: Approximately 12 to 20 inches
Minimum Tank Size: 50 gallons or larger
Lighting: Moderate to high
Water Flow: Low to moderate
Placement: Deep sand bed
Temperament: Aggressive
Diet: Photosynthetic with supplemental meaty foods
Suggested use: Add to a mature marine aquarium with a deep sand bed so the anemone can bury and secure its foot. Protect pump intakes, leave space from corals, and expect it to relocate until suitable conditions are found.
