Heteractis Magnifica Green Yellow Tip - L

Description

The Magnificent sea anemone (Heteractis magnifica) is a large, Indo-Pacific anemone characterized by its long, non-tapering tentacles with swollen or bulb-like tips, which are dense with stinging cells called cnidocytes. The oral disc, containing the mouth, and the tentacles are usually similarly colored, appearing yellow, brown, or green, with the tentacles often being tan but sometimes displaying vibrant colors like red, pink, or orange. These anemones anchor to hard surfaces with a sticky pedal disc and are well-known for hosting various clownfish and shrimp species in a symbiotic relationship. 
Appearance

  • Size:It is one of the largest sea anemones, growing up to 1 meter (3 feet) in diameter in the wild, though smaller in captivity. 
  • Tentacles:Features long, non-tapering tentacles that can be retracted, with distinctly swollen or bulb-like tips. 
  • Color:The oral disc is often yellow, brown, or green, with tentacles that are commonly tan but can also be green, orange, pink, or red. 
  • Structure:It possesses an oral disc with a central mouth and a pedal disc for attachment to hard substrates. 
Habitat and Behavior

  • Environment:Prefers well-lit, hard, and exposed substrates with strong currents. 
  • Social Behavior:Found in colonies in deeper waters and solitarily closer to the surface. 
  • Symbiosis:Famously hosts clownfish, offering protection in exchange for food and defense against predators. 
  • Feeding:Primarily obtains nutrients through photosynthesis from symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) and also by using its tentacles to capture prey. 
Habitat Range
  • Found widely across the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific region.
  • This includes the eastern coast of Africa, the Red Sea, Australia, and up to southern Japan and French Polynesia.
