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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start in a lower area and acclimate gradually so it can adjust without sudden exposure to brighter reef lighting.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or at a sand-and-rock edge. Allow room to choose a secure position, and avoid disturbing the foot while it attaches.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals and anemones. Rock flower anemones are semi-aggressive, capable of moving, and may sting neighbors if they settle too close.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. An occasional small meaty offering can be provided, but avoid overfeeding and keep portions appropriately small.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, then observe its position after introduction. It may move while seeking a suitable location, so protect the foot from damage and allow adequate time for attachment before making adjustments.

Plan its placement carefully and let it settle at its own pace.
