Diese Anemone ist in einem kühlen Nordseeaquarium ohne weiteres zu pflegen. Sie muss unbedingt jeden Tag mehrmals gefüttert werden, da sie sonst schrumpft. Am besten füttert man sie mit einem Gemisch aus Artemien, Mysis und Cyclops. Ansonsten eine sehr schöne Anemone. Diese Anemone gibt es auch noch in braun.
