Genus
Common name: Long Tentacle Anemone
Scientific name: Macrodactyla
Macrodactyla is a genus of sea anemones commonly known as Long Tentacle Anemones. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their striking appearance and the symbiotic relationships they form with clownfish. These anemones feature long, tapering tentacles and a wide oral disc. They require stable water conditions, moderate to high lighting, and strong water movement. It's important to provide them with a sandy substrate for burrowing and ample space away from other corals to prevent stinging interactions.
