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 in gentler light and adjust placement gradually if needed, allowing the anemone time to settle before making further changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the foot from securing comfortably and may cause the anemone to move.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Protect the foot from damage and allow time for it to attach securely after introduction.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and anemones. Rock flower anemones are semi-aggressive, can sting nearby specimens, and may move after placement.

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 observe its position and attachment during the settling period. Avoid repeatedly moving it once placed, since it may relocate until it finds a suitable spot.

Allow a calm introduction period and give this anemone room to settle.
