Entacmaea quadricolor

The Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) has the reputation of being one of the easier sea anemones to keep and comes in a few different colors or varieties.
There are many clownfish species that will host with this anemone (see below), with the most common being the Maroon Clownfish. You don't need to have a clownfish to keep an anemone, though watching the symbiotic relationship between the clownfish and the anemone is one of the most fascinating aspects of aquarium keeping. The opposite holds true as well. You don't have to keep an anemone if you want to keep clownfish.

A beautiful anemone which does well as a host for several species of clownfish listed below:

Joseph of Colorado Great Deal
This anemone is in great shape. It looks real happy and my maroon clownfish made a home in it quickly. Great buy awesome price. Thank you.
Jerry of Florida Christina
Christina and her crew are simply amazing! The anemone is beautiful and I love it. Only the best from Reefs2Go.
Robert Reese of Virginia order
My order arrived in great shape. Everyone looked in great shape and started settling in very fast. The extra heat pads kept them warm during this cold snowy winter. I have never seen such a large healthy pinkpin urchin and all of the rest were even better than that. Everyone arrived in separate bags and packaged so no one got crushed. Thanks again for such great orders. A++++++service. I wish others were this concerned for their livestock.
Dennis of Virginia Great deal
The Reefs2go price is a 50% savings from the local petstores. The heating bag that was sent with my shipment was a nice touch. My shipment arrived in heathy condition. Still waiting on rest of my ordered to be shipped
Mark of Arkansas Bubble anenome
Every anenome needs a pair of clown fish and every pair of clown fish need an anenome. Like two peas in a pod. It should be noted that care in reef tanks are required for any anenome as they will kill any coral they come in contact with. Anenome can and will travel throughout your tank in search of specific location to call home, despite where you may first place them. All in all, worth the risk!
Chris Adams of Huntsville, AL Green Bubble tip anemone
I recieved a very hearty Green BTA, it acclimated very well to my tank. When I placed it in my tank it attached very quickly to some live rock that I had in place for it. The only thing I could tell someone is if it is there first time owning a anemone is do not panic it when the tentacles delfate and it looks like your anemone is dying, it is probally just using the bathroom look for brown stringy stuff coming out of the mouth is a good way of telling. It will do this from time to time usual...
Brian T of ND Green BTA
This was a very nice large anemone that appears to be setting up for a split already after 1 week in my system. Reefs2Go sent me a specimen that is in great health and sized just right.
Lynn Tran of Hayward, CA Recent Order feedback
This is my 1st time ordering any life stock coral or fish from the website. But, man I tell you it was a joyful experience and the quality of your product is outstanding. All three of my anemone are doing very well everyone seems to be healthy and active. I am looking to get more from you and price are reasonable.
