notes
   The Rose Bubble Tip is a rarer and more costly variation of the common Bubble Tip Anemones usually found. They are more sensitive and demand a higher quality and very well lit tank. If no clownfish is present, regular feedings of meaty foods will be needed. The anemone will elongate its tentacles in search of food. If it is hosting a clownfish it may stay in this state more of the time.   
overview
  
The Rose Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) belongs to the family named Actiniidae. The Rose Bubble Tip Anemone is semi-aggressive in nature and sensitive 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. Entacmaea quadricolor 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 high water quality, a moderate water current, a fluctuating water current, porous live rock, and rockwork structure.
