Rock / flower anemones

[GrizFyrFyter]

Someone spiked my curiosity in these recently. I know aquarium Depot has a few and they seem to be easy to keep (as far as keeping anemones goes).

Just looking for your experiences with them and maybe pics of yours.

No pun intended but they rock

they only seem to move enough to settle in and get comfy. Although I did build a ? Bohmie? Pile of rocks in its own spot to not bother anyone but I have had many corals close to 5hem with no problems. I had an angry hammer coral at one point that bugged the nem. I wish I had them a spot on the rocks tho just in case it might help them reproduce. Have to have a male and femal3 tho. I dont spot feed but they say it helps. Might start.

I recently got 2 from my lfs they were badly bleached its only been 2 weeks and ones got a ton of color and the other is still healing... I feed them directly a couple times a week, I feel its an animal why should only be fed once or twice a month like a bunch of people have told me...

And like said above mine only moved enough to get settled and are happily perch agains the rocking, just not on it... also one of mine seems to prefer darker spots where my other prefer brighter open spots... So ones in the back of my tank the others in the front of the tank

I feed all my bubble tips every few days. I can't see why I wouldn't do the same with these.

You guys are forgetting pics. Come on people that's the most important part. Love rock nems, I just wish they were natural hosts for clowns.

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

My clowns don't host in their btas, they host in frogspawn and hammer corals :/

I've had my rock anemone for over 13 yrs. It is still trying to get used to the new LED lights. Its a bit bleached out but is starting to get its color back.

Pulled the trigger and got this guy for my wife's tank today.

 

[monkeypie102]

Wow I love the colors!

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

Me too, I want one for my tank but they cost more than a bta at a lfs.

???? Check out Reeftopia.com ... They are probably less than $20 each

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

Yeah but shipping is the big equalizer.

 

[monkeypie102]

My lfs charges $15.99 +tax... The o
Two I got are still healing but one is starting to show an orange disk the other is developing orange spots on its foot...

Ask around the lfs in your area I'm sure someone will have an epic deal or three you could snag!

So far, only one in sac has them and 1 didn't know what I was talking about.

Ouch... Maybe out source a bit farther out of town? My brother lives in Sacramento maybe I'll give him a call and ask if he can keep an eye out...

 

[Steventnguyen]

Jojo has them I think

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

I'll give them a call tomorrow.

 

[GrizFyrFyter]

Picked up another one today

And the first one is doing great
