Rock Flower Anemone - Care Requirements

Rock Flower Anemone is a rock flower anemone suited to lower areas of a reef aquarium. This WYSIWYG Rock Flower Anemone offers an anemone option for reef keepers seeking a specimen that can settle into rockwork or along the sand-and-rock edge.

This is a WYSIWYG anemone, meaning the anemone shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Start with gentler exposure after introduction and adjust placement gradually if needed, allowing the anemone time to settle.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the foot from securing comfortably and may cause the anemone to move.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or at a sand-and-rock edge. Protect its foot from damage and allow it time to attach before making placement changes.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals and anemones. It is semi-aggressive, capable of moving, and may change position after introduction or as it seeks a suitable location.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, then observe attachment and movement during the settling period. Plan surrounding rockwork and coral spacing with the possibility of relocation in mind, and avoid disturbing the foot once it has attached.

Allow a secure attachment period before judging its final placement.
