The Green Bubble Tip Anemone is one of the most popular host anemones in the marine aquarium hobby, known for its vibrant green coloration and distinctive bubble-shaped tentacles. A fantastic centrepiece for established reef aquariums, it can also form a natural hosting relationship with several clownfish species.
Bubble Tip Anemones are relatively hardy compared with many other host anemones, but they still require a mature, stable aquarium with strong lighting and good water movement. Their tentacles can sting nearby corals, so provide plenty of room for growth and movement.

Common Mistakes
Adding it to a new aquarium
Wait until the aquarium is mature and parameters are stable before introducing an anemone.
Not protecting pumps
A wandering anemone can be drawn into powerheads and become severely damaged. Use appropriate guards.
Constantly moving the anemone
Allow it to choose its own location rather than repeatedly repositioning it.
Keeping it too close to corals
Give it plenty of room because it can sting neighbouring corals.
Unstable water parameters
Avoid large fluctuations in salinity, temperature and other key parameters.
