The variety of colorations and inexpensive price usually attracts people to this anemone. The problem is that the Condylactis tends to move around the tank alot, sometimes "rolling" across the bottom at night. This can obviously be a problem for resting fish and shrimp, and it can harm other anemones and corals. Also, it is typically unheard of for any clownfish or damsel to associate with it. |

The Condylactis Anemone (Condylactis gigantea) is sometimes called a Condy Anemone. It belongs to the family named Actiniidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 16 inches in diameter, the Condylactis Anemone is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Condylactis gigantea in general should have extra bright (5+ watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a moderate water current, a deep substrate, and rockwork structure.
