Leathery Sebae Sea Anemone Profile Lori Adelman

Scientific Name:

Heteractis crispa.

Description:

This is a mop-like Anemone with a lot of tentacles.

Reproduction:

The Leathery Sea Anemone is a solitary animal and does not appear to clone itself.

Feeding & Aquarium Compatibility :

This Anemone should be tan or cream-colored (not pure white, which is a sign that they have lost their zooxanthellae) when purchased, otherwise the odds of survival in an aquarium will be slim.
