The Condy Anemone is also known as the Haitian Anemone or Giant Golden Anemone. It is found throughout
the Caribbean and Western Atlantic, in lagoons or on inner reefs, as individuals, or loose groups. It is never found in connected
clusters. Its disc diameter is 16" (40 cm), but a disc of about 4" (10 cm) is common in an aquarium. This species
has diverse color variations. The base color is usually brown to white and the tentacles may or may not have magenta, purple,
or green tips on its long tapering tentacles. The tentacles may occasionally develop a bubble-like appearance to them. It
prefers to bury its base in the sand or into the crevice of a rock for protection.
The Curly-Cue Anemone, also known as Corkscrew Anemone, Curly Q Anemone, Curlique Anemone, and the
Trumpet or Rock Anemone, is a member of the Aiptasiidae family. The Curly-Cue Anemone is a carnivore, and will consume fish,
mussels, and crustacean meat. Offer a high quality frozen carnivore preparation, as well as fresh, chopped fish. Iodine and
trace elements should also be added to the aquarium for the Curly-Cue Anemone to thrive.
Epicystis crucifer. The Rock Flower Anemone, also known as the Rock Anemone, is a member of the Phymanthidae family.

color than the rest of the body. The oral disc lacks tentacles, but the tentacles on the body are often beaded in appearance.
The Rock Flower Anemone is a carnivore, requiring meaty foods to survive. Offer mussels and freshly chopped fish, as well
as a high quality frozen carnivore preparation. To thrive, the Rock Flower Anemone will need iodine and trace elements added
to the water.
