Behavior
Will eat any fish it can catch including clownfish, no clownfish will use this anemone as a host in nature, likes to be nestled in a hole or crack in the rockwork
Feeding
Will get food from zooanthelae but additional feeding with meaty fare such as diced fish or shrimp is neccesary
Breeding
Under good conditions may split in two
Social Structure
They usually will not form groups or pairs. They can sting other anemones and other corals.
Additional Notes
These anemones are not ideal for tanks that wish to have a clownfish/anemone relationship. These anemones constantly move areound and sting corals. More anemones will not converge into a group, they are generally single creatures. A better anemone for the aquarist is the long tentacled and the bulb anemone.
