It is beautiful, I love the darker coloration to that particular one, kind of matches your substrate.

Thank you! He kind of has a purple tint to him too. One of my favorite purchases yet!

Pretty cool!

That's a nice one

I saw it and I had to have it. Much better than my condy that ate everything in my tank. [emoji24]

What did the condy eat ?

Beware that tube anemones will eat whatever prey they can catch, especially at night, their usual feeding time.

I've had one in my tank for a year with no issues

What did the condy eat ?

My condy ate 4 clowns, a crab, and a red ruby scooter. No bodies were found in my tank so my LFS and I are assuming him to be the guilty party. Not sure why he ate them because I was definitely over feeding. So far my tube hasn't messed with anything.. fingers crossed.

I don't think you'll have an issue with the tube nem. I even have shrimp steal food from mine

ALL live stock has to do is wonder to close and touch the tentacles and that's a wrap. As far as i know they have a hard time catching a healthy fish but small and sickly watch out.

Let me add that is a beautiful specimen but as you can see in the first photo you posted that clown is to curious for his own good. This is why I still don't have one.

I have also had one going on a year now with no problems
So at Cali RAP this weekend I bought another one in a different color

Awesome!!! I absolutely love mine. It's really cool to watch them catch food and eat. I have had zero issues with mine and plan on getting another if not two more. All my fish stay clear of it as if they know exactly what it is and they probably do don't stress about it.

My tube nem is an absolute gem. Never bothers my fish or anything. I always syringe feed it and it is happy as can be. Very happy with my purchase and one of my favorite things in my tank. I am in the process of cycling my new 55g and I would like to get another one in the future!!

Why do people think these are dangerous? They aren't even actual nems. They are mostly filter feeders.
