The Tube Anemone is a low light anemone which does not host clowns at all.
It requires supplemental meaty foods several times per week for best results.
To ensure proper placement, make a trough in the substrate in your tank and lay the tube body into the trough. Cover tube body with enough substrate to hold it down.
The anemone produces a slime from its body which mixes with the substrate to form a casing.
The tube anemone will move in the tank to a preferred area if not satisfied with your placement.
