Purple Long Tentacle Anemone

Description

The Long Tentacle Anemone also know as the LTA. This variation of the Long Tentacle Anemone has purple tentacles and a red base. This is a fairly uncommon find in the industry. It is a host to clownfish, usually Amphiprion perideraion and A. clarki. The Long Tentacle Anemone requires an established aquarium with plenty of live rock, and a sand or rubble substrate in which it can hide. The diet should include small pieces of fish or mussel, brine or mysis shrimp and other frozen meaty foods that are marine in origin. Does best in a sand bed.
