Rock Flower Anemone - Care Requirements

Rock Flower Anemone is a rock flower anemone suited to low-to-moderate light reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG Rock Flower Anemone offers a practical anemone option for reef keepers seeking a specimen that can settle along the lower rockwork or sand-and-rock edge.

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 gentler exposure after introduction and adjust placement gradually if needed, allowing time for the anemone to settle.

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 relocate.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or at a sand-and-rock edge. Allow it to choose and secure its foot, and expect it may move after introduction.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and other sessile invertebrates. This semi-aggressive anemone is capable of moving, so its location and potential contact points should be monitored.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and remove uneaten food if necessary.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during handling and placement. Observe attachment, position, and flow response after introduction, giving it time to settle before making frequent changes.

Provide a secure location, gentle conditions, and room to move if needed.
