This sea anemone can grow to be up to 30 centimetres (0.98 ft) in diameter, and obtains the majority of its energy from solar radiation via its symbiotic zooxanthellae.Ī characteristic of E. quadricolor anemones appear in a variety of morphs, including rose, orange, red, and standard green. 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.Īmphiprion melanopus anemonefish in a bubble anemone from East TimorĮ.
