About Malu Seabae Anemone

General information

The Malu Sebae Anemone is a less common form of the Sebae Anemones with its long tentacles and colored tips. Malu Sebae Anemone is a delicate anemone and easily damaged. It can also be difficult to acclimate, so its care should only be attempted by the experienced aquarists. It prefers to have a sandy substrate allowing its base to be hidden from sight. It should not be placed on a rock. It requires strong lighting, moderate water flow, porous live rock, and a variety of sandy and rocky locations from which it can choose to live. It is a moderately difficult anemone to care for, but once acclimated, it can be very hardy.
