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 gentler exposure after introduction and adjust gradually while observing how the anemone settles in its chosen location.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it at a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Allow time for it to secure its foot, and avoid disturbing that attachment area.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and anemones. It is semi-aggressive, can move, and may require repositioning room as it chooses a secure location.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize appropriate placement and stable conditions rather than frequent feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, especially during introduction. Protect the foot from damage when handling or arranging nearby rockwork, then observe patiently as the anemone attaches and may move to a preferred position.

Allow a secure attachment period before making placement adjustments.
