Macrodactyla doreensis
Long Tentacle Anemones are stunning centerpiece corals that bring movement and color to any reef tank. This XL specimen (9–11 inches) is a healthy, established anemone ready to thrive in your aquarium. **What to Know** These semi-aggressive anemones do best in tanks of at least 30 gallons with moderate lighting and water flow. They'll grow to around 20 inches at maturity, so give them space to expand. Place them low in the tank where they can settle comfortably. They're reef-compatible but may occasionally sting nearby corals, so monitor placement. **Care Level** Intermediate care required. Long Tentacles are hardy once acclimated but need stable water conditions, consistent feeding, and proper flow to keep their tentacles extended and healthy. They prefer moderate light—too intense can stress them. **Feeding & Behavior** These anemones are carnivorous and will accept small fish, shrimp, and meaty foods. They're semi-aggressive, meaning they'll defend their territory but won't destroy a well-planned reef. Many aquarists keep them with compatible fish and corals successfully. **WYSIWYG Guarantee** This is the exact specimen you'll receive—photographed and inspected before shipment to ensure it arrives in excellent condition.
