Beaded Anemone
Heteractis aurora
The Beaded Anemone is one of the most unique anemones found in the aquarist trade; its tentacles have stepped swellings on them, giving its name beaded anemone. It is best kept individually as they can be aggressive towards other anemones.
It requires a mature tank of at least 9 months and a size of 200 litres or larger with plenty of rockwork and a deep sand bed of 10cm to rest on. This anemone requires moderate lighting, and will move itself to the optimum location in the aquarium, usually burying in the sand near some rockwork. Placing a clownfish in the aquarium will help it acclimatize. The anemone is reef compatible, but may sting corals when moving, it has been known to eat small fish when underfed. They usually adapt well to frozen foods once established and should be fed a mixture of fish, clams and other meaty preparations.
