Its fleshy tentacles may develop the characteristic rounded or “bubble” tips associated with the species, although the degree of bubbling can naturally vary with the individual and aquarium conditions. Under reef lighting, its contrasting pigments become particularly noticeable, while blue-spectrum lighting can emphasize its fluorescent tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other \u003cem\u003eEntacmaea quadricolor\u003c\/em\u003e, the Nexus Joker anchors its foot deep within a rock crevice and expands its oral disc and tentacles into the surrounding water. Once comfortable, it can become a prominent centerpiece with constant natural movement. Bubble Tip Anemones are also well known for their potential relationship with compatible clownfish, although hosting behavior is never guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eEntacmaea quadricolor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nexus Joker Bubble Tip Anemone, Bubble Tip Anemone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High — approximately \u003cstrong\u003e100–250 PAR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — varied, indirect flow that allows the tentacles to move naturally without being continuously blasted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle to Upper aquarium; ultimately determined by the anemone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solitary anemone that may reproduce by natural fission once established\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic; occasional supplemental meaty foods can be beneficial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlacement \u0026amp; Flow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBubble Tip Anemones should be introduced to a \u003cstrong\u003emature, stable reef aquarium\u003c\/strong\u003e with rockwork that provides deep holes and crevices where the foot can securely attach.
