Description
The HML Rock Flower Anemone is a captivating anemone species that adds a burst of color to any reef aquarium. Its vibrant red tentacles and sometimes contrasting base colors create a beautiful display that draws attention. These anemones are relatively hardy, making them ideal for both novice and experienced aquarists. They are best suited for tanks with moderate lighting and water flow, which allows their tentacles to move gracefully.
While Rock Flower Anemones are generally peaceful with other anemones, they can be semi-aggressive if placed too close to corals or other invertebrates. Feeding them small pieces of meaty foods once or twice a week can help them maintain their vibrant colors and healthy growth. Their diverse color variations and manageable size make them a popular choice among reef enthusiasts looking to add unique flair to their tank.
