Long Tentacle Anemones can grow up to 20 inches and larger, but in most cases stay much smaller when in home aquariums.

Long Tentacle Anemones prefer to be any areas of the tank where both the water movement and lighting are moderate. Long Tentacle Anemones are also great hosts for clownfish, although not all clowns will host in one. Long Tentacle Anemone can sting other anemones and coral that get too close, this should be taken into consideration when adding a Long Tentacle Anemone to your tank.
