This vibrant marine invertebrate, a color variant of the popular bubble tip anemone, is characterized by its striking appearance. Its bulbous tentacle tips, often displaying a lighter coloration compared to the base, create a visually appealing addition to reef aquariums. The term describes a specific color morph, rather than a distinct species, within the Entacmaea quadricolor anemone family. Individual specimens exhibit variability in color intensity and pattern.
The popularity of these anemones stems from several factors. Their aesthetic value contributes significantly to the overall visual appeal of a reef tank. Furthermore, they are known to host various species of clownfish, providing a symbiotic relationship that enhances the natural behavior and display of both organisms. Historically, anemones have been integral to reef aquarium keeping, with specific color morphs like this particular type becoming highly sought after by hobbyists and collectors.
