The Curlique Sea Anemone (Bartholomea annulata) is a striking marine invertebrate known for its vibrant colors and graceful, curling tentacles. The distinctive curled pattern of its tentacles gives this species its common name, and it adds a unique visual appeal to any saltwater aquarium.
In its natural habitat, the Curlique Sea Anemone uses its tentacles to forage, capturing food particles from the water column. In an aquarium setting, these anemones can be fed directly with small chunks of squid, fish, and other suitable foods to support their growth and health. Providing such food helps ensure they thrive and develop their full potential.
Curlique Sea Anemones are relatively easy to care for when provided with the right water conditions and nutrition, making them a beautiful and fascinating addition to a marine tank. Their lively movement and colorful presence create a dynamic focal point, while their symbiotic relationship with shrimp and other creatures adds to their appeal in reef aquariums.
Anemones typically range from 1-3 inches in diameter
