Discover the Beauty of Anemone Coral
Anemones are a marine creature that is in the same family as corals and jellies. They are found in oceans all over the world, from the rocky shores of the intertidal zone to the deep sea.
Why Choose Anemones for Your Aquarium?
Anemones are a popular choice for home aquariums because of their stunning beauty and the unique relationship that they share with clownfish. Many aquarists want to add anemones to their aquarium in the hopes that they will also be able to add clownfish and watch the two species form a symbiotic relationship. In addition to the common clownfish host anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor), there are many other species of anemones and even more species of clownfish that will readily form a symbiotic relationship in your aquarium.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anemones
Do Anemones Need Special Lighting?
Like corals, anemones are a photosynthetic creature and rely on the lighting in your aquarium to provide them with the energy that they need to survive. Anemones require a high level of light in order to survive. In the wild, anemones are found living in shallow water, where they have access to a lot of sunlight. In your aquarium, it’s important to make sure that your anemones have access to the light that they need. If you have a fish-only aquarium, you likely do not have the lighting that you need to keep anemones. Anemones require a reef tank setup with high-quality LED lighting that is capable of supporting the photosynthetic needs of anemones and other corals.
How Long Do Anemones Typically Live?
Anemones are a relatively long-lived creature. In the wild, anemones can live for up to 50 years. However, in captivity, the lifespan of anemones is typically much shorter. Anemones can be a challenging creature to keep in your aquarium. They are sensitive to changes in water quality and require a stable environment in order to survive. If you are new to keeping marine aquariums, we recommend waiting to add anemones to your aquarium. Anemones are best suited for experienced aquarists who have the knowledge and experience to create a suitable habitat for their anemones and to keep them healthy.
