Bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae. [2] Like several anemone species, E. quadricolor can support several anemonefish species, and displays two growth types based on where they live in the water column, one of which gives it the common name, due to the bulbous tips on its tentacles.
The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [5] A. barberi is specialised, being hosted by only 2 out of the 6 host anemones found in the region. A. barberi is hosted by the following species of anemone: [1] Entacmaea quadricolor Bubble-tip anemone
Bubble-tip anemone: Entacmaea quadricolor: With caution: Moderate: A relatively easy to keep anemone species, it is very colorful, and has distinctive bubble-like swellings on the tips of its tentacles. 30 cm (11.8 in) Condy anemone [16] Condylactis gigantea: With caution: Moderate: Common anemone species in the aquarium trade.
The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [9] A. akindynos is a generalist, being hosted by the following 6 out of the 10 host anemones: [4] [2] [9] Entacmaea quadricolor Bubble-tip anemone; Heteractis aurora beaded sea anemone; Heteractis crispa Sebae anemone
Like corals, anemone's contain intracellular endosymbionts, zooxanthellae, and can suffer from bleaching due to triggers such as increased water temperature or acidification. Characteristics known to elevate the risk of extinction are small geographic range, small local population, and extreme habitat specialisation.
Clownfish or anemonefish are fishes that, in the wild, form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones and are unaffected by the stinging tentacles of the host anemone, see Amphiprioninae § Symbiosis and mutualism. The sea anemone protects the clownfish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and ...
Little is known about the specific host anemone species with which A. chagosensis associates, [2] however it has been photographed in association with: Entacmaea quadricolor Bubble-tip anemone; Heteractis magnifica magnificent sea anemone [5] Macrodactyla doreensis long tentacle anemone; Stichodactyla mertensii Mertens' carpet sea anemone
