Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone is a high-end color morph of *Entacmaea quadricolor*. It displays a spectacular mix of colors, often having a base of green or blue that transitions to orange or red tips, creating a 'rainbow' effect under actinic lighting. Like all Bubble Tip Anemones, it is a favorite host for clownfish and requires intense, high-quality lighting to maintain its vibrant colors. It is semi-aggressive and will sting any corals it touches as it moves. Its care is identical to the Rose BTA, but its coloration is less stable and can fade if lighting or water quality is not pristine.
