The Entacmaea Quadricolor, commonly known as the Bubble Tip Anemone, is a popular choice for marine aquariums due to its vibrant colors and relatively easy care. The yellow with red feet variety is particularly striking, adding a bold contrast to any reef tank.  

Key Characteristics:
  • Size: Can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter.
  • Coloration: Yellow body with vibrant red feet.
  • Tentacles: Thick, bulbous tips, giving it the "bubble tip" name.  
  • Habitat: Indo-Pacific region, typically found in shallow, well-lit areas.

Aquarium Care:

  • Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions, including temperature (72-78°F or 22-26°C), salinity (1.023-1.025), and pH (8.1-8.4).
  • Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is beneficial to prevent debris buildup and promote oxygen exchange.
  • Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is necessary for the anemone to thrive and maintain its vibrant color.  
  • Placement: Provide a stable, well-lit location for the anemone to attach itself.
  • Feeding: While the anemone can derive energy from symbiotic algae, supplemental feeding with brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or other small invertebrates is recommended.

Symbiosis with Clownfish:

The Bubble Tip Anemone is often kept with clownfish, which form a symbiotic relationship. The clownfish benefit from protection within the anemone's tentacles, while the anemone receives cleaning and potential food scraps from the clownfish.  

Additional Tips:

  • Acclimation: Acclimate the anemone slowly to your aquarium's water parameters to reduce stress.
  • Avoid Direct Contact: Handle the anemone with caution, as its tentacles can sting.  
  • Monitor Water Quality: Regularly test water parameters to ensure optimal conditions.
  • Patience: Anemones can be slow to adjust to new environments, so be patient and provide consistent care.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully keep a Bubble Tip Anemone with yellow body and red feet in your marine aquarium and enjoy its beauty and fascinating behavior.
