The Forest Fire Bubble Tip Anemone is a spectacular colour morph of the Bubble Tip Anemone, prized for its intense combination of vibrant reds, oranges and greens. Its glowing coloration makes it a standout feature in a reef aquarium, particularly under quality reef LED lighting.

Like other Bubble Tip Anemones, Entacmaea quadricolor can form a natural hosting relationship with clownfish. Once established, it can be a relatively hardy anemone, making it a popular choice for experienced reef keepers looking to add movement and colour to their aquarium.

Provide stable water parameters, strong lighting, moderate flow and secure rockwork. Allow plenty of space around the anemone, as it can sting nearby corals and may move while settling.

Not protecting pumps

Use guards on powerheads and other pumps to prevent the anemone from being injured.
