Genus
Common name: Curly-cue Anemone
Scientific name: Bartholomea
Bartholomea is a genus of sea anemones commonly known as Curly-cue Anemone or Corkscrew Anemone. These anemones are known for their long, spiraled tentacles that give them a distinctive appearance. They are often found in shallow waters and can form symbiotic relationships with various species of clownfish, which seek refuge among their tentacles. In the aquarium, they require moderate lighting and water flow, and they can be fed with a variety of meaty foods. They are capable of reproducing asexually in the home aquarium, which can be a fascinating process to observe.
