A variant of Bubble tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor)

Green Bubble Tip Anemone (GBTA)

Representative Bubble tip anemonephoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

An entry-level colored BTA with green-to-neon-green tentacles, frequently over a maroon or deep base; some lines show purple or pink tips ('green with purple tip' GBTA).

📜 Backstory

Widely sold by LiveAquaria, Petco and many local stores, and traded constantly on Reef2Reef. The green pigmentation is natural and often associated with Sri Lankan and Indo-Pacific collections; these are inexpensive, readily splitting wild-origin anemones rather than a named designer line (origin debated).

Keeper tips for this variant

One of the more forgiving colored morphs, but still needs a mature tank — moderate-to-strong light and moderate flow are plenty. Provide a rocky crevice for the foot and feed meaty foods every few days to encourage splitting.
