Rock Flower Downsides?

[bnord]

I assume Powerheads and wavemakes arent a big danger to RFA like they are to reg nems??? do they wander up the glass?

I have not had one move out of sand. - they may press their radius up against the glass, but the foot will not move there

I've tried twice, I will try again during a water change tonight in the hopes that it magically works. But when it doesn't work, be certain I will come back to tell you that you were wrong. HAHAHA :P ;)

I hope it works for ya.

they definitely will attach on the glass. I had one of mine do that to my front glass. I had to scrap him off with a credit card. Then he got ticked and walked to the back of the tank lol

Nope they prefer rocks and sand.

Ones doing that now I don't mind.

Jealous I haven't had a spawning event that I know of.

Mine started after about 3 and a half years. Started with 3 tiny dime size. 2 males. I'm looking forward to having 30 adults. Lol.

The only downside is they're somewhat addicting like Pokemon (gotta collect them all!) and not necessarily the cheapest inhabitants.

Whats a good price for an average one now?

40~45 is a good deal for a single and depending on the colors. I hesitate to pay more than that unless it has really cool colors. You can get close to the 20-25$ price if you buy packs, but then you don't get to choose your colors.

30-40 is a decent price. I find with packs i get better deals and I can usually find what I like. I love all the rfa. There's 3 tiers to rfa
Shallow water/common
lower color usually tans brows white but amazing patters 10-15

https://www.live-plants.com/rockflower.htm
Ultra 25-60 mostly 2 colors
Found mid depth in the ocean

Ultra ultra crazy colors, more than 2 colors
60+ are the deepest

The commons are the hardest to find. Everybody wants the crazy colors.

Everything I have are ultra.

I'm Infested! Lol

You can spot feed rfa. Not really picky about food. Nothing bigger than thier mouth if your target feeding.
Chopped clam, fish eggs,shrimp,oysters muscles, small peices of fish,mysis,plankton have all been taken with out issues.

Broadcast feeding what they get is what the get and some have caught whole cubes. No issues with that. I just don't recommend if your target feeding.
My food is diy

The downside to rock flowers is that they are addicting... so they may cause random outbreaks of impulse buying :D

Youre the third person to say that.. it must be true hahaha

I always have room for another rfa. I can stop when I want, I just don't want to

My next system is going to to have a green haddoni and a ton of rfa with a mangrove tree.
