About the XL Bubble Tip Anemone

The bubble tip anemone is the most popular clownfish host, with bulb-tipped tentacles around a central mouth. This is an extra-large specimen, so it needs a mature tank, strong lighting, rockwork with deep crevices for its foot, and guarded pump intakes. Feed it small meaty foods one to three times a week. It can wander and sting corals it touches, so place corals out of its reach.
