Overview
The Infernal Blossom Anemone is a rare and visually striking anemone, boasting a brilliant red base with lush green accents that resemble the petals of a supernatural flame. Its dynamic coloration and flowing tentacles create a hypnotic display, making it a prized addition to any reef aquarium. This anemone’s bold contrast and unique appearance make it a standout centrepiece for collectors seeking an exotic and vibrant marine specimen.
Care & Feeding
The Infernal Blossom Anemone thrives under moderate to high lighting and prefers a moderate water flow, which allows its tentacles to move gracefully while ensuring proper nutrient absorption. While it is primarily photosynthetic, occasional target feedings of mysis shrimp, finely chopped seafood, or anemone-specific diets will support its growth and intensify its colours.
Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial to preserving its fiery red and lush green hues, ensuring the anemone remains healthy and vibrant in your aquarium.
