Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Green Metallic Corn Anemone is a color morph of the *Phymanthus* genus, prized for its vibrant, iridescent green coloration. Like its red counterpart, it is a hardy, non-hosting anemone that stays relatively small and stationary, making it a great 'spot' of color in a reef. It buries its foot in sand or rockwork, extending its beaded, green tentacles to feed. It is a carnivore that benefits from occasional direct feedings of mysis shrimp. While it won't host clownfish, its manageable size and reluctance to move make it a much 'safer' anemone for a mixed reef than a Bubble Tip.
