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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to its intended intensity and observe its response rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Allow time for it to secure its foot, and expect it may move after introduction.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and sessile invertebrates. It is semi-aggressive, may move, and should be positioned where contact with nearby specimens is unlikely.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and remove uneaten food if necessary.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, especially during its settling period. Protect the foot from damage when placing or moving it, avoid repeated repositioning, and monitor its chosen location before adjusting flow or lighting.

Patience during placement helps this anemone settle into a secure location.
