Rock Flower Anemone - Care Requirements

Rock Flower Anemone is a rock flower anemone suited to lower reef areas with gentle conditions. This WYSIWYG Rock Flower Anemone offers a practical option for reef keepers seeking an anemone that can settle into a lower rock crevice or along a 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. Begin with gentler exposure during introduction, then observe its response before making gradual lighting adjustments.

Flow

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

Placement

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

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals because it is semi-aggressive. It may move after introduction, so plan placement with room for it to settle away from sensitive neighbors.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, while avoiding overfeeding and allowing the anemone time to accept food.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or maintenance. Watch for movement and attachment behavior, especially after introduction, rather than repeatedly repositioning it.

Choose a protected lower location and let it attach at its own pace.
