Magnificent Anemone

Heteractis magnifica

The Magnificent Anemone is a large, brightly colored Indo-Pacific anemone known for its carpet-like spread of tapering tentacles and its status as a preferred host for many wild clownfish species. It is one of the more challenging anemones to maintain, demanding intense lighting, stable reef parameters, and a very large, mature aquarium. Beginners should research carefully before attempting this species.
