Feather worm duster

The Tube Anemone (Ceriathus sp.), also known as the Tube Dwelling Anemone, is a fascinating and colorful marine invertebrate that thrives in reef or species-only aquariums with a soft, deep substrate. Unlike true sea anemones, the Tube Anemone creates its own protective tube using discharged nematocysts, offering it a safe space in which it can retreat.

Its coloration is highly variable, with shades ranging from tan, pink, purple, to even fluorescent green, making it a striking addition to your aquarium. As a non-photosynthetic species, the Tube Anemone does not require intense lighting but instead thrives in tanks with a deep sand bed, ample live rock, and a refugium to provide a natural food source. Being nocturnal, it may take some time to open fully during the day, gradually becoming more active in the evening.
