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. Introduce it gradually to its intended lighting level and observe its response before making major placement changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the anemone from settling comfortably in its chosen location.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. It may move, so allow time for it to secure its foot and avoid handling the foot unnecessarily.

Temperament

Give it room from nearby corals and sessile neighbors. Rock flower anemones are semi-aggressive, can move after introduction, and may sting corals that come within reach.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or maintenance. Let it settle without frequent relocation, monitor its position around neighboring corals, and adjust nearby placement if it moves into contact.

Allow a settling period and plan surrounding coral spacing around its chosen position.
