Rock anemone

[aaronramey11]

What is the best way or just a blank no! To introducing a Rock Anemone to a reef. I've always enjoys the vast colors but have been scared to whether they'd sting and perhaps kill other coral

Rock nems are pretty harmless. Is it attached to a rock? If not, turn off your flow and then set the nem on a rock with a nice crevice or hole. Keep finger gently over the mouth for a few minutes to get it to stick a bit. Then leave flow off for a good few hours or so. Should attach and be fine. It will move if it wants to.

+1 vote add rock anemone(s)

I had 1 I nurtured to fully grown, BF killed it trying to dig it out of hole it so he could see it better (ARGH) when I was on travel, so he bought me replacement 3 similar colors. Key is have a separate rock with small holes so it can have its foot feeling safe, and if you want it to move, then move whole rock. (and have quality reef sitter when you travel...) If they have medium light with low-medium flow, they seem very happy. I target feed a tiny bit of thawed reef frenzy 1x week.

My rock anemones have never moved (original didn't want to move and replacements have never moved). These are also a LOT smaller than other anemone types, even when fully grown. It's more likely coral sweeper tentacles will negatively impact your rock anemones, depending type(s) of corals nearby

Side note, is that a pool strainer or kitchen strainer?

 

[Arthacker87]

It was at my buddies house. It was big so I'd assume pool

Hard to see but here are them in individual cups

only good thing about my BF's replacement anemones is now I have THREE and I'm hoping there is both a male and female in that mix (know they are hard to sex when you can't see thru their fluffy edges looking for eggs)

Are you selling these

Since @Arthacker87 isn't selling, got info from my BF. He felt like he got a good deal on pack of 3 for around $100 from Salt Critters that came loose in a bag. BF thought they should have been bigger, but now that I am home I've watched them grow almost half again as big. I never heard of this company Salt Critters before, but it all worked out okay
