It is commonly found attached to rocky or sandy substrates in the Caribbean and western Atlantic. Unlike many other anemones, it generally stays in one location once settled and is not known for frequently wandering around the aquarium. It can capture small fish and invertebrates, so careful placement is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModerate to High: Can adapt to a range of lighting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally does well under moderate reef lighting, with gradual acclimation to stronger light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes not require extremely intense lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlacement (Aquarium Zone)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom to Lower Rockwork: Often settles on or between rocks, sometimes partially buried in sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide a stable surface where its pedal disc can attach securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeave adequate space around it to prevent contact with neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 24–27°C (75–81°F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalinity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 1.023–1.026 specific gravity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 8.1–8.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlkalinity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 7–11 dKH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 380–450 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 1,250–1,400 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow to Moderate: Prefers gentle, indirect water movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid strong, direct flow that causes the oral disc or tentacles to remain compressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain enough circulation to prevent debris from collecting around its base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnivore: Captures small meaty foods using its tentacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be fed small portions of mysis shrimp, finely chopped shrimp, and other suitable marine foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed sparingly, around once or twice a week, adjusting to the animal's size and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid large food portions that may remain uneaten and pollute the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdult Size (up to)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Approximately 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) across, although some specimens may grow larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowth Rate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlow to Moderate: Grows gradually under stable aquarium conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan reproduce sexually and, less commonly, through asexual reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Moderate: Generally more manageable than many host anemones, but still requires stable water quality, suitable lighting and careful placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef Compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally Reef Compatible with Caution: Usually does not actively seek out and sting neighbouring corals, but its tentacles can sting nearby animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMay capture small fish, shrimp or other small invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep sufficient space between the anemone and corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperament\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally Stationary: Usually remains attached once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan sting animals that come into contact with its tentacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reeflections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51136859373825,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/2592\/4245\/files\/250294.jpg?v=1794427956","url":"https:\/\/reeflections.me\/products\/rf-rock-flower-anemone-phymanthus-crucifer-copy-17","provider":"Reeflections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
