Ich habe das Tier erst vor kurzem erworben, deshalb kann ich noch keine Langzeiterfahrungen mitteilen. Ich halte die Anemone in einem seperaten Becken, da sie für das Riffbecken ungeeignet ist. Sie nesselt so stark, daß sie bei Berührung mit Korallen diese extrem beschädigt, einen Fisch hat sie auch schon gefressen. Kontakt mit der Haut hat ein unangenehmes Brennen und Rötungen zur Folge. Ich hoffe, ich kann dieses wunderschöne Tier noch lange halten.
