Malu Anemone- white, Heteractis crispa
The Malu Sebae Anemone, also known as Purple Tip Anemone, Leathery Sea Anemone (Heteractis Crispa) is a less common form of the Sebae Anemones with its longer tentacles, and colored tips. Malu Sebae Anemone is a delicate Anemone, and easily damaged. It can also be difficult to acclimate, so its care should only be attempted by the experienced aquarists.
The Malu Sebae Anemone prefers to have a sandy substrate allowing its base to be hidden from sight. It should not be placed on a rock. It requires strong lighting, moderate water flow, porous live rock, and a variety of sandy and rocky locations from which it can choose to live. It is a moderately difficult anemone to care for, but once acclimated, it can be very hardy.
