Common name: Heteractis anemones

Scientific name: Heteractis

Heteractis is a genus of sea anemones known for their symbiotic relationships with clownfish. These anemones provide a safe haven for clownfish, which in return may help to keep the anemone clean and provide nutrients through their waste. Heteractis species are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their striking appearance and the dynamic they bring to the tank. They require stable water conditions and moderate to high lighting to thrive. Care should be taken when placing them in the aquarium as they can sting other corals.
