Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower rock crevice or sand-and-rock edge
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive and capable of moving
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its chosen area and observe its response before making substantial lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the anemone from settling comfortably or irritate its tissues.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. It may move, so allow time for it to choose a position and securely attach its foot.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and anemones. It is semi-aggressive, capable of moving, and may require repositioning of nearby specimens if it changes location.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but avoid overfeeding and remove uneaten food promptly.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or adjustment. Let the anemone attach without disturbance after introduction, then monitor its location, attachment, and response to flow and lighting.

Plan its placement carefully and give it room to settle on its own.
