Pink tube anemone

[LongIslandAndy]

Yonkers they are really easy to keep, I have 2 in a mixed reef for almost a year now. I started out by putting the tube in a piece of 3" pvc. Within six months the tube had come through the bottom of the pvc and attached itself to the bottom of my tank in about 2" of sand.
They really do expand at night and I agree with the comments about the power of their sting, give them room and you will be okay. I also found they would rather eat small food like cyclopleeze than silversides or big chunks of food

Good Luck

I have 2 a black one and an orange one. There on the easy side to care fore. You must leave room it will kill coral, it can get fish but usually a healthy fish knows and can stay away. You need some flow to it, and should have the flow bring food to it and you need to feed it once in awhile , shrimp, clam and so on. My black one dosent have long tentacles so its easy, the orange one is long so i have it in corner in the substrate and leave 3-6 inches around it.

I have two as well, they are easy to care for but need regular feedings as they are not photosynthetic (great to place in a cave). As NewfiDog stated, they sting corals so they need some ample space. They look amazing when they catch food and put it in their mouths...

I have one! I feed it once in a while. I did have 4 tiny red spot cardinals that disappeared. I blame the tube anemone or my scoly. I now have one red spot left.
