Its graceful, swaying tentacles create an immersive, natural display.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Long Tentacle Anemone (*Macrodactyla doreensis*) is a stunning marine invertebrate, often featuring a deep orange to red base and long, flowing tentacles that can exhibit corkscrew shapes. These unique tentacles, ranging in color from brown to green or purple, are tipped with stinging nematocysts. This anemone primarily anchors itself in deep sand substrate, with only its captivating tentacles extending into the water column, creating a dynamic focal point in your established reef tank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Considered an intermediate-level species, the Long Tentacle Anemone requires stable water parameters and a mature aquarium. It is semi-aggressive due to its stinging cells, so careful placement away from corals and other sessile invertebrates is crucial. It can, however, host certain clownfish species, fostering a fascinating symbiotic relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimum tank size of 379 litres (100 gallons) is recommended to accommodate its potential size and stinging capabilities. Provide a deep sand bed of at least 10-12 cm for the anemone to bury its foot. Moderate to high lighting and moderate, non-directional water flow are essential for its health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While this anemone derives much of its energy from the symbiotic zooxanthellae within its tissues, supplemental feedings are vital. Offer meaty foods such as chopped shrimp, clam, mussels, or marine fish flesh several times a week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you buy Long Tentacle Anemone online from Corais de Vidro, you receive healthy, responsibly sourced marine life.
