Rock Flower Anemone Guide
Guest Writer3 days ago
let’s talk about Rock Flower Anemones!
Rock Flower Anemones, or RFAs as they are commonly referred to, are one of the most popular Anemones in our hobby. Their beautiful, various coloration and patterns make for an amazing addition to almost any type of reef tank! Their huge circular centers and mouths are surrounded by tons of fuzzy, flowing tentacles that look just like petals on a flower.
RFAs come from a more local place than you might imagine! Unlike other anemones and corals that are usually from the Southern Hemisphere, halfway across the globe, most RFAs are from the warm, tropical waters of South Florida and the Caribbean! They come in so many beautiful colors of reds, greens, striking pinks, yellows, and golds that are often combined together to form stunning patterns resulting in an awesome Anemone! They’re found in shallow reef areas, lagoons, and sandy areas with their feet dug in revealing only their disc shaped body.
Unlike other anemones, one of the things that make Rock Flower Anemones so popular is their care! They are one of the easiest anemones to care for in the hobby and are extremely hardy. Low maintenance and a wide range of requirements make them perfect for any Reefer or reef tank! Keep your rock flowers under moderate to high light and moderate/indirect flow, but they adapt well to almost any setup. Their striking colors really POP under full actinic lighting!
While they do photosynthesize, it’s important to also feed them. Spot feed your RFAs with a turkey baster using a mixture of meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp one to two times a week. They love to open up, grab food with their tentacles, and consume!
