A more fully red-pigmented specimen where the tentacles themselves are red to pink, not just the base — described by vendors as 'red or pink with orange to red colored feet.'

📜 Backstory

Listed as the 'Red Long Tentacle Anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis)' by Quality Marine, a major US wholesaler, which describes the specimen's red/pink tentacles and orange-to-red feet directly. It is a wild-import color form, not an aquacultured strain. Because it is hand-selected at import, individual intensity varies and no named lineage is attached.

Keeper tips for this variant

Keep the red foot buried in deep sand and provide moderate-to-high light to support its zooxanthellae; supplement with small meaty foods (mysis, chopped silverside) once or twice a week, since these anemones are active feeders.
