Description
The HML Rock Flower Anemone is a stunning addition to reef aquariums, known for its vivid colors and unique petal-like tentacles. These anemones are relatively hardy and easier to care for compared to other anemone species, making them an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate reef enthusiasts. They thrive in moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow, allowing their tentacles to sway beautifully in the water.
While they are generally peaceful towards other anemones, Rock Flower Anemones can be semi-aggressive if they come into contact with other corals or invertebrates, so careful placement is advised. These anemones are carnivorous, enjoying small pieces of meaty foods like mysis shrimp or brine shrimp, which can be offered once or twice a week. Their vibrant colors make them a striking focal point in any aquarium setup.
