Representative Long tentacle anemonephoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A form prized for an intensely pink-to-magenta column (foot) that contrasts with a greenish disc; hobbyists often value the foot color over the tentacles. The vivid column is visible as it threads down into the sand and rock.
📜 Backstory
This is a trade-grade descriptor for wild LTAs selected for column color rather than a named designer clone. The pink/purple foot is a natural pigment variation in Indo-Pacific imports. It sits between the common green and the top rainbow grades in price, reflecting that colored columns are uncommon but not unique.
Keeper tips for this variant
Avoid bare-bottom tanks entirely, this anemone needs sand to bury and protect that delicate column; place it where the foot can reach down to a hard surface beneath several inches of sand.
