关于珠珠海葵

A sea anemone whose tentacles carry bead-like swellings, with an oral disc spreading up to 250mm. It requires strong lighting, flow, and stable water quality, best suited to experienced reef keepers.

迎接珠珠海葵前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Bead-like Tentacle Swellings

   Its tentacles carry rows of round, bead-like swellings that give it a strung-necklace appearance. Some individuals show swellings along just one side, while others have them almost all the way around, so appearance varies from animal to animal. A single tentacle can carry up to around 20 of these swellings.

2. 2Advanced-Level Care

   This species needs strong lighting, ample water flow, and long-term stable water quality. It can decline quickly if conditions fluctuate, so it is best kept by hobbyists with prior experience keeping corals and marine fish.

3. 3A Large, Flat Oral Disc

   The oral disc spreads out flat and can reach up to about 250mm across. Tentacle length tops out at around 50mm, making the tentacles relatively short compared to the size of the disc.

4. 4It May Relocate Itself

   This anemone can slowly move around the tank using its pedal disc. If it does not like its spot, it will move on its own, so place it away from pump intakes and heat sources and check on its position regularly.

5. 5Handle With Care, It Stings

   Its tentacles carry stinging cells that can harm nearby corals or fish on contact. Give it plenty of space from other animals, and avoid touching it directly with bare hands when rearranging your layout.

6. 6Provide Strong Light and Flow

   It hosts photosynthetic zooxanthellae, so it needs consistent, strong lighting. Add water flow with a pump as well, so fresh water reaches all of its beaded tentacles.

7. 7Prepare Your Tank First

   Set up stable water quality, lighting, and flow before bringing one home. Decide on a settled spot in advance, and take your time with a gradual acclimation process.
