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. Begin with gentler exposure during introduction, then observe its response before making gradual lighting adjustments.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Allow time to attach after introduction, and avoid disturbing the foot once it begins settling.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals and anemones. Rock flower anemones are semi-aggressive, capable of moving, and may sting neighbors if they settle too close.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered but are optional. Feed lightly and avoid placing food near the foot while it is attaching.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or maintenance. Check its location regularly, especially after introduction, since it may move before choosing a secure position.

Plan for movement and give it room to settle into a suitable location.
