Overview
Heteractis malu is known as the Sebae or Leather Anemone. It was previously named Radianthus keukenthali. Heteractis crispa may also be called the Sebae Anemone. Heteractis malu is usually light tan to brown in color, and may have purple tips on its tentacles.
Acclimation to aquarium life can be very difficult for this species and its care should only be attempted by the most experienced aquarists. In the aquarium it requires strong lighting, porous live rock, and a variety of sandy and rocky locations from which it can choose to live. The addition of a Clownfish, such as the Blue Striped Clown, Amphiprion chrysopterus, will immediately help with its acclimatization and improve its chances of survival. When healthy, it will become very sticky. If it grasps onto something (or someone), it will be very difficult to convince it to let go without damaging it.
Once acclimated, it should be fed a diet of fish, worms, clams, shrimp, and other meaty foods once a week.
Approximate Purchase Size When Fully Expanded: Small: 1" to 2"; Medium: 2" to 3"; Large: 3" or larger

Absolutely beautiful! No picture does this fish's color justice. Great personality! It is my most energetic fish in the community. It ate Formula One and Formula Two instantly.

My "Harvey" is the most beautiful fish I've ever seen in person or otherwise. I highly recommend the Coral Beauty, but only if you have a large tank of 75 gallons or more. They spend a lot of time grazing algae so must be placed in an established tank. Mine eats like a little piggy! Very relaxing to watch.

I had a coral beauty for two years and sold him to another person after I had to move overseas. Fantastic fish that never gave me a hard time. Always swimming about and very peaceful. Definately recommended!

Upon receiving this we saw that the coloring is much nicer than the ones we've seen in the LFS. The CB keeps weaving in and out of the rockscape, very nice to watch.

I have one Coral Beauty Angelfish in my 72 gallon tank. I love him. He has GREAT color and gets along great with my other fish. I would recommend to anyone that is thinking about getting one to go ahead and do it, you will love it.

The Coral Beauty Angelfish is one of my favorite fish in my Marine tank. I recommend this fish for beginners because they will eat almost anything you put in the tank, and are a hardy fish. They also like an aquarium with lots of hiding places.

I purchased a Coral Beauty Angelfish about three weeks ago. It is one of the most beautiful and hardiest fish in my 125-gallon aquarium. It easily feeds on frozen brine shrimp and sea algae. I would recommend purchasing one of these beautiful angels of the deep blue sea!

The pictures does this fish no justice at all. The fish is very beutiful and its colrs are very vibrant in real life. This fish is very active and is constantly moving about my tank do its thing. Out of all my fish in my 75 gallon tank, it get the most attention and people are drawn to its natural beauty, hence the name right?:)This fish by far is one of my favorite fish in my tank.

My favorite marine fish. Doesn't pick at any corals in my tank, and I have SPS,LPS, and soft corals in there. He isn't aggressive and has tons of personality, and also seems to be very smart. Highly recommended!

I added this fish to my tank about a month ago and he has been doing great. We had an icy incident but he was able to fight through it. He has made friends with my cleaner shrimp and yellow tang and will eat almost anything. Very beautiful and I would say the easiest angel to care for. Very fun to have in my tank.
