The Green Rock Flower Anemone (Phymanthus crucifer) is a captivating addition for reef aquariums, known for its vibrant green coloration and distinctive flower-like appearance. This anemone typically grows up to 4 inches in diameter, with long, flowing tentacles that can display subtle shades of purple or yellow, complementing its bright green base.
Care and Maintenance:
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is ideal to encourage healthy coloration and growth.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow helps replicate its natural habitat while preventing debris buildup on its tentacles.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feedings of small meaty foods such as brine shrimp or mysis shrimp. Feeding once or twice a week supports vibrant health.
Compatibility: Generally peaceful but may sting nearby corals if placed too close. Safe to keep with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates.
Placement:
Place the Green Rock Flower Anemone on a stable rock base with enough space to expand fully. Avoid areas with strong currents to prevent stress.
With proper care, this anemone can become a striking centerpiece, adding dynamic movement and color to your reef environment. Regular monitoring and maintaining stable water parameters will ensure longevity and vibrant health in your aquarium.
