Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone
The Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone (RBTA) is one of the most vibrant and popular anemones in the reef hobby, prized for its iridescent tentacles that shift between reds, oranges, greens, and golds depending on lighting and flow. Under actinic light, its tips glow with a dazzling neon spectrum, creating a stunning centerpiece for any reef aquarium.
As with all bubble tip anemones, this species offers a natural hosting relationship with clownfish, providing them shelter and enhancing the dynamic display of the tank.
