Should baby rock flower anemones be moved into an acclimation box or similar container to improve their survival rate? I see some people posting pictures and videos of their baby rock flowers and they are in either an acclimation box or glass dish of some type. Does this help with spot feeding, or is there another reason this is done?
 
Same exact care as a grown Rock flower

Yeah it's done to easier keep an eye on them and easier to spot feed them. Rfa are not smart at all, they will easily move to a dark part of the tank and die. They do need spot feeding if you want good growth.
 
I don't do anything and the babies grow. Spot feeding definitely grows them out faster. But no direct feeding and they also grow in my tanks. If you have a male and female RFA it seems inevitable that in a few years you're going to have a collection of them.
