Rock Flower Anemone - Care Requirements

Rock Flower Anemone is a rock flower anemone suited to a lower rock crevice or sand-and-rock edge. This WYSIWYG Rock Flower Anemone is offered as the pictured anemone and fits reef aquariums with gentle placement, indirect circulation, and time to settle after introduction.

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. Begin with a gentler position 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 anemone from remaining comfortably positioned.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or at a sand-and-rock edge. It may move, so allow it to choose a position and secure its foot without disturbance.

Temperament

Give it open space from nearby corals and sessile neighbors. This semi-aggressive anemone can move and may sting surrounding specimens if it settles too close.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but stable conditions and a securely attached foot remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or any necessary adjustment. Observe it after introduction, avoid rushing relocation, and allow adequate time for attachment before making further changes.

Plan space around its preferred location before introducing it to the reef.
