Rock Flower Anemone

Rock Flower Anemone - Care Requirements

Rock Flower Anemone is a rock flower anemone suited to established saltwater reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG Rock Flower Anemone offers a distinct anemone option for a reef display, with placement and flow needs that differ from most corals. Allow time for it to settle and choose a secure attachment point.

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 a gentler location when introducing it, then observe its response before making changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. It may move, so give it time to secure its foot without repeated repositioning.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals and anemones. It is semi-aggressive, can move around the aquarium, and may affect neighbors if it settles too close.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. An occasional small meaty offering can be provided, but avoid overfeeding and remove uneaten food if needed.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during handling or placement. Observe its location, attachment, and response to lighting and flow after introduction, making gradual adjustments only when necessary.

Plan for movement, provide room, and let it settle into its preferred location.
