Named for its explosive, sunburst-like coloration — typically featuring vivid orange, gold, and red hues radiating from the center — this is a true showpiece for any serious reef keeper. Each specimen is photographed individually, so what you see is what you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnimal Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Entacmaea quadricolor (Bubble Tip Anemone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMorph:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chicago Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–6 inches body diameter (expanded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate to Expert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTank Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 gallons (established reef, 6+ months old)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76–80°F (24–27°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalinity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.025–1.026 specific gravity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.1–8.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlkalinity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–12 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmmonia \/ Nitrite:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 ppm (anemones are highly sensitive to water quality)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;10 ppm preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhosphate:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.05 ppm preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLighting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-output lighting is strongly recommended — LED reef fixtures (e.g., Radion, Hydra, Kessil) or T5 HO at moderate to high intensity. Anemones host zooxanthellae and rely on photosynthesis for a significant portion of their nutrition. Acclimate slowly to high light to avoid bleaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplement photosynthesis with meaty foods 1–2 times per week: silversides, mysis shrimp, krill, or LRS Reef Frenzy.
