Rock Flower anemones

[~Reefer~]

Hi guys what’s everyone’s views on rock flower anemones? Do they move around a lot and sting corals or do they just chill round the sand and bottom of tank?

I’ve had some never move for years and some that move a lot. I have one smack in the middle of my zoa garden and the zoas around it don’t seem to mind, they don’t have a powerful sting. My porcelain crabs call them home.

I’ve owned a few. Once they find their spot (happens pretty quick) I’ve never witnessed them move after that. Just my anecdotal experience of course, mileage may vary. They are generally easy to deal with, I barely think of them as nems tbh ha.

I've got 6 that have been in the same spot for years. They are normally placed on the rocks

Yes sorry I meant on rocks but on sand not on direct sand of course…

Any concern with placing a small rock flower anemone in a 13.5g nano whose only fish is a mandarin???

Mine actually moved to the sand. After that it hasn't moved at all.
