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. Start with a gentler area and adjust placement gradually if needed, allowing the anemone time to respond to its new environment.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable settling and may keep the oral disc from opening normally.

Placement

Place it at a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Allow it to choose and secure its foot, since it may move after introduction.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and anemones. It is semi-aggressive, can move, and may create contact concerns if it settles too close to other reef inhabitants.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe its response before establishing any routine.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and avoid disturbing the foot once it begins attaching. Check its location regularly, especially during the settling period, and protect the foot from damage when moving nearby rockwork or equipment.

Patience and a secure foothold support a smooth introduction to the reef.
