Rock flowers keep dying

[Musicrocx09]

From what I’ve read online and on this site is that rock flowers are easy to care for. I don’t understand why my 3rd one is on its way out since I got them in December. I only have clownfish, cleanup crew and a diamond goby

Params? Tank age?

what's in your clean up crew? I had RFA's disappear on me. One night I noticed peppermint shrimp picking on them. I think they were eating them. After I removed the peppermints, they stopped disappearing. RFA's are impossible to kill otherwise. I suspect it could be a predator.

The only thing I’ve seen kill a rock flower are freezing temperatures, a broken foot, or a peppermint shrimp. You might have a predator in your tank, likely a member of your clean up crew.

Make sure they get enough light (they can tolerate more than you might think), and target feed them once or twice every 1-2 weeks.
