Acid Rain Bubble Tip Anemone

Acid Rain Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor “Acid Rain”)

Description:

• A striking colour morph of the Bubble Tip Anemone, featuring fluorescent yellow-green tentacles with bright orange to red tips, giving it a fiery “acid rain” appearance under aquarium lighting.

• Popular among reef keepers for its vibrant colouration and natural ability to host clownfish.

• Adds both utility and beauty as a centrepiece in reef aquariums.

Care Requirements:

• Care Level: Moderate

• Temperament: Semi-aggressive – capable of stinging nearby corals if they come into contact.

• Size: Can expand up to 30–40 cm across.

• Diet: Photosynthetic but benefits from supplemental feedings of mysis shrimp, chopped seafood, and silversides.

Aquarium Requirements:

• Minimum Tank Size: 120 litres

• Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 24–27°C

  • pH: 8.1–8.4

  • Salinity: 1.023–1.025 SG

• Setup: Strong reef lighting (LED or metal halide), moderate water flow, and stable live rock for attachment. Best kept in established, mature aquariums with stable water quality.

Compatibility:

• Hosts clownfish such as Ocellaris, Percula, and other species.

• Reef-safe but may move and sting corals or invertebrates if placed too close.

• Avoid mixing multiple anemone species in the same tank.

Notes:

• Tentacle “bubbling” may vary depending on lighting, flow, and feeding conditions.

• Known to split when healthy, often producing clones.

• A highly sought-after designer morph prized for its glowing, fiery appearance.
