Live invertebrate
Orange Tube Anemone 3”
Orange tentacles around a bright green center on a 3 inch tube anemone. It is not a true anemone: it lives in a tube it builds down in the sand, and it catches its food instead of living off the light.
What you receive
You receive: The pictured orange tube anemone, about 3 inches. This is the actual animal in the photos.

TemperamentSemi-aggressive
ZoneBottom, deep sand bed
It needs a deep sand bed, at least four to six inches, to anchor its tube. The sweeping tentacles carry a potent sting, so give it real clearance from corals and other inverts, and never pull one out of the sand once it is buried: the tube tears away and that is often fatal.
Help it settle in
- Set the tube into deep, soft sand in gentle to moderate flow and let it anchor on its own.
- Feed meaty foods like mysis, krill or chopped clam two to three times a week in the evening, and keep temperature and salinity stable. Check flow and water quality if the crown stays closed for days.
