Arizona Sunset Bubble Tip

$150.00

Bring a desert-inspired blaze of color to your reef with the Arizona Sunset Bubble Tip Anemone. This stunning anemone features a fiery gradient of burnt orange, deep red, and golden undertones—reminiscent of a desert skyline at dusk. Under blue or actinic lighting, its bubble tips glow with mesmerizing intensity, making it a bold and dynamic addition to any reef tank.

The Arizona Sunset BTA isn’t just about looks—it’s also known for its hardiness and adaptability. It thrives in established reef tanks with stable parameters and moderate flow, and it often becomes a natural host for clownfish, adding even more movement and interest to your display. Over time, with proper care, it may split and expand—offering the potential to propagate or share a piece of the sunset with fellow reefers.

Note: This is a representative image, not WYSIWYG. Each anemone is healthy, vibrant, and may vary slightly in bubble size and color gradient.
