Toxic Orange & Green Tube Anemone

This is not a WYSIWYG. Photo is indicative only of actual stock.

The Tube Anemone, also known as the Tube Dwelling Anemone, is best suited to a reef or species-only aquarium with a soft, deep sand substrate. Although it resembles a true sea anemone, it is only a distant relative. These anemones build their tube-like structures using discharged nematocysts, creating a protective home in the sand.

Their coloration is striking and varies widely—ranging from tan, pink, and purple to vibrant shades of fluorescent green. A suitable setup includes a deep sand bed, ample live rock, and a refugium to support natural food availability. Being non-photosynthetic, Tube Anemones do not require strong lighting. In fact, they are nocturnal and typically remain closed during the day, gradually opening after lights go off or as they acclimate to the aquarium environment.

Due to their lack of reliance on light for nutrition, regular feeding is essential once the anemone is fully open. Offer small frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, finely chopped fish, and zooplankton to keep them healthy and thriving.

We take livestock seriously. That's why we don't sell anything we wouldn't be comfortable putting in our own tank.

As we are direct from source, we import and sell direct to the public. This means you can buy with confidence knowing EMA prides itself on excellent handling and conditioning protocols.

Fish

All our fish held in a quarantine system for a minimum of 3 weeks. During this time, regular water changes are performed, and twice daily (or sometimes more) feedings are performed.

Copper is dosed and checked twice a day for ich and velvet.

During this treatment fish are given formalin baths for brooklynella and a minimum of 3 praziquantel doses is performed for flukes.

Coral

Our coral is quarantined for a minimum of 3 weeks, just like fish. During this time, regular water changes are performed, water testing done, and once a month a Fauna Marin ICP Total is performed.

Corals are inspected for pests/general health and are provided with a pest dip once a week for at least 3 weeks.

If we see signs of pests, the quarantine period is extended and/or additional dips are performed

If coral is bleached/unhealthy, it will remain in quarantine until healthy enough to sell.
