As the name implies, Long Tentacle Anemones have very long (up to 5-6 in.), smooth, thick tentacles sometimes with longitudinal stripes extending into the oral disk.

The Long Tentacle Anemone, Macrodactyla doreensis, also known as the Corkscrew Anemone, Sand Anemone, and Red Base Anemone, comes in a multitude of colors and features uniquely long tentacles. It slender, smooth tentacles originate from its flat oral disc making for an elegant and active display in the tank.

It is a relatively peaceful anemone that won't bother other inverts so it is considered reef safe. Growing up to 20 inches, the Long Tentacle Anemone should not be kept in a tank less than 30 gallons.

It will thrive in tanks with moderate lighting, moderate flow, and a thick sandy substrate of at least four inches. The Long Tentacle Anemone will rely primarily on zooxanthellae's photosynthetic ability as its food source but will readily accept carnivorous preparations as a supplement. 

The tentacles originate from a round flat oral disk, distinguishing it from the condylactis anemone.

The foot of the base is almost always bright red or orange.

They are hardy if kept under moderately good lighting, power compacts or better.

Accepted by Clarki, Maroon, Sebae, Tomato, and Skunk clowns.

Requirements:

The Long Tentacle Anemone requires an established aquarium with plenty of live rock, moderate to high lighting and a sand or rubble substrate in which it can hide. They may also settle in the live rock where they will attach themselves in a crevice.

Be sure not to include incompatible species of fish that may attack the anemone.

Diet:

Though mostly photosynthetic, supplemental feedings of small pieces of fish or mussel, brine or mysis shrimp and other frozen meaty foods that are marine in origin.
Pieces should be cut smaller than the size of the anemones mouth.
