The Haitian Condy Anemone (Condylactis gigantea) is a high-impact addition to the Atlantic or Caribbean biotope aquarium, blending striking aesthetics with essential utility. Featuring long, flowing tentacles typically tipped in vibrant shades of pink, purple, or lime green, this sessile invertebrate is a master of the "kinetic reef" era of fish keeping—serving as a natural focal point for the mid-to-lower sections of the tank. It is a dedicated photosynthetic inhabitant, making it a functional cornerstone of a healthy marine ecosystem.
This hardy anemone thrives in established systems with a deep sand bed and stable rockwork to anchor its foot. While generally reef-compatible, its bold presence means it requires ample space to prevent its stinging tentacles from coming into contact with sensitive corals. To ensure long-term health, provide moderate-to-high lighting and a varied diet of chopped silversides, mysis shrimp, or other meaty marine foods. Ensure your aquarium maintains high water quality and brisk flow, as these anemones rely on current to deliver nutrients and remove waste.
Note: Images shown are stock images and not the actual invertebrate you will receive.
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Temperament: Semi-aggressive (Stinging tentacles)
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons
Diet: Carnivore / Photosynthetic
Reef Compatible: Yes (With caution)
Max Size: 12 Inches
Water Conditions: 72 to 78°F, dKH 8 to 12, pH 8.1 to 8.4, sg 1.023 to 1.025
The Haitian Condy Anemone is a strategic choice for hobbyists looking for "oceanic movement" without the high price point of many Pacific species. Its swaying tentacles add a layer of kinetic energy to the sand-rock interface that few other invertebrates can match. While it rarely hosts common Indo-Pacific Clownfish, it often forms fascinating symbiotic relationships with various species of Caribbean cleaner shrimp. For maximum success, provide an environment with stable alkalinity to facilitate its metabolic health.
We’ve dialed in the logistics for national Overnight Delivery to ensure your livestock arrives in peak condition. Every order is packed using professional-grade insulation and climate-contingent heat or ice packs, designed to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey. We handle the technical side of the move so you can focus on the acclimation. Our protocol is built on getting these invertebrates from the facility to your tank with zero compromise on health or vitality
