Any tips on keeping this tube anemone?

Are these in your tank. They looked awfully familiar.. just feed bits of prawns every week.. they are non photosynthetic.. so required feeding..

hi bro

i like share my experience if u have small fishes tube anemone can sting and eat them i used to have few grew quite big they do sting other corals and can release stinging cells in water when stressed which can irriate corals , tube anemones are not from reef itself they live mostly in mangroves , they are beautiful but may not be for reef tanks . just my 2 cents

Hmmm they are pretty much easy to care for with the required feedings and prefered substrate... all corals do have its own warfare but this is less harmful as compared to other anemones... proper husbandry and carbon will help to lessen chemical warfare...

IME, mine moved from the rock I placed it on to the sand bed and stayed there for months even till now. My small fishes (Eviota) hangs around but no harm done thus far (keeping my fingers crossed). Marine hobby is a strange world. There is a certain level of un-predictability .

I got a pink one over a year and my tank is mixed reef. But you definitely need to keep a safe distance with other corals and it will move till it find the right location. I have small fishes and there is no issue.

Just blast out or target feed when you feel like it, once a week with some mysid or henry gourmet.
