About this item
Electric Daisy Mini Carpet Anemone
The Electric Daisy Carpet Anemone (Heterodactyla hemprichii) is one of those reef animals that earns its name every single time the blue lights come on. Under reef lighting, this extraordinary anemone ignites into a neon yellow that seems to generate its own light — radiating outward from a dense central disc ringed with grape-like beaded tentacles arranged in the perfect radial spread of a daisy. Nothing quite prepares you for how electric it looks in a reef tank at night. It is not a subtle animal.
Each specimen carries its own personality in color — most glow a vivid, almost radioactive yellow under blue LEDs, with some showing splashes of neon green that add another layer of depth and contrast. In white light the coloration is striking in its own right, but it is under actinic and blue spectrum lighting where this anemone truly becomes something otherworldly. Placed in a prominent position in the aquascape, it becomes the first thing every visitor looks at — every single time.
Beyond the looks, the Electric Daisy Hemprichii is a genuinely easy keeper. It settles quickly, feeds readily, and will naturally split and multiply over time — meaning one specimen has the potential to become a glowing colony that fills an entire section of your reef with electric color. It does not host clownfish, but commensal shrimp are commonly associated with it, adding an extra layer of life and activity around the colony.

Due to natural variation, the specimen you receive may vary slightly in coloration, size, and tentacle arrangement. Some specimens display splashes of green alongside the primary yellow coloration — this is natural and does not affect health or behavior.
Photographs are representative examples. Coloration appearance may vary depending on your lighting spectrum and intensity.
As with all live animals, proper acclimation and a stable, established environment are essential for best results.
