Cubaris murina "Anemone" Peridotite this unusual variety of quartzCubaris murina "Anemone" is a mix of deep orange brown and brown gray tones with a pale dusty finish (called "pruinescence"). Like their cousins Cubaris murina "Glacier," their translucent bodies easily show their digestive tract as a dark stripe down their back. I find Cubaris murina to be an active variant, once established. Some cubaris are shy and like to burrow, but I see my Anemones surface roaming during the day. Preferred temperature 7080F
