Genus

Common name: Hell's Fire Anemone

Scientific name: Actinodendron

Actinodendron is a genus of sea anemones known for their potent sting, often referred to as Hell's Fire Anemones. They are characterized by long, tapering tentacles and a sticky texture, resembling a cactus more than a typical anemone. These anemones are not recommended for beginners due to their aggressive nature and the potential to harm other tank inhabitants. They require stable water conditions and should be fed a diet of meaty foods like shrimp or fish. Actinodendron species are fascinating but should be handled with care.
