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 and observe its response, especially after placement or changes to the aquarium’s lighting schedule.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Allow time for it to attach, and avoid disturbing its foot once it has chosen a position.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals and anemones. Rock flower anemones are semi-aggressive, may move, and can affect nearby placements as they settle or relocate.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional; use modest portions and remove any uneaten food from the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during handling or rearranging. Check that it remains securely attached, especially after introduction, and account for possible movement when planning nearby coral placement.

Give it a secure location and time to settle before making adjustments.
