Rainbow Rose Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmea quadricolor)
The Rainbow Rose Bubble Tip Anemone is a stunning color morph of the Bubble Tip Anemone, prized for its vibrant blend of rich rose red coloration. Under reef lighting, its fluorescent colors become even more striking, making it an eye catching centerpiece in any reef aquarium.

The anemone arrived healthy and has settled well in my 55-gallon reef tank. Its rose red color stands out under the LED lights and it’s been active since day one. I’ve seen a small clownfish visit it regularly, which is a nice bonus.

Beautiful coloration and very easy to maintain. It attached itself to a crevice in the rockwork within a week. The lighting really brings out the red tones, making it a focal point in the tank.

I’ve had this anemone for three months now and it’s thriving. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t harm other invertebrates. The tentacles extend well into the current and it looks vibrant every day.
