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. Start with gentler exposure after introduction and adjust only after it has attached and settled into a preferred location.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it along a lower rock crevice or at a sand-and-rock edge. Give it time to secure its foot, and expect it may move before choosing a location.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals and other sessile reef inhabitants. Rock flower anemones are semi-aggressive, and their ability to move makes separation especially important.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. An occasional small meaty food can be offered, 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 adjustment. Observe attachment, positioning, and response to flow before making changes, since settling can take time.

Give this anemone room to settle and avoid frequent relocation.
