The tentacles don't really bubble up though


HAPPY REEFING !!!! . 

That is part of the issue with common names -- willing to bet that half of the E. quadricolors in captivity do not have bubble/bulb tips.
 
Ive had 4 bta's and only my rose actually bubbled., and that was only when it was in bright light and high flow.
 
It's getting tons of light. It sits right under a 175WATT MH.

He's the happiest when the halides are on and at night he shrivels up to about 3 in diameter disc. And at full bloom he's about 13 inches wide


HAPPY REEFING !!!! .
 
I'm surprised that its not split yet if its that big.

There is a theory that there are 2 types of E. quadricolors, ones that come from shallower waters and that split often and form colonies, and then there are ones that are from deeper waters, are solitary and don't split often.

Ions ago, I had one that would get to about 15" across before it would split, took up about 1/3 of my 75.
 
It's also kinda funny that my clowns don't even go in it anymore. The stay underneath it. They have been laying eggs every week it seems and are protecting them. Never see them on the anemone anymore
