Anden Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 How do RFA get along with BTA? Is BTA on rocks and RFA on sand doable? You will not be able to have and rock flower on the sand but i hope you know that that is why it is called a ROCK flower anemone. Quote Link to comment
My tiny reef Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 From GotCorals From local store From... MY TANK! How old is your baby in the last pic? Mine are about 3 months and none are that big, but mine also had a ton of them and I think they were all premature...they are growing so I'm still happy. Quote Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Rock flowers can be on sand. Right now I only have 2 of 20 on the rock. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So is Bali/Indonesia the same distance from the equator as the Caribbean? I'm bad with Geography. Answer is no, I just looked them up. And not by a little. I was just wondering if any location at the same level might be able to support them. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/07/21/flower-anemones-discovered-in-bali-indonesia/ Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I don't see why they wouldn't be able to live in other oceans. In our tanks, they live in breed in all sorts of environments (water quality, temperatures, lighting, you name it). https://reefbuilders.com/2016/07/21/flower-anemones-discovered-in-bali-indonesia/ I'd like to see some of the color variations from there. Better yet, their daylight images and these ‘reef tank’ photos from Bali Aquarium reveal that there’s a whole new category of Indo-Pacific Flower Anemones with a spectrum of colors and patterns all their own. 1 Quote Link to comment
Anden Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Rock flowers can be on sand. Right now I only have 2 of 20 on the rock. I think your rfa are on the glass and not on the sand but you know best, if your rfa is on the sand and not on the buttom glass plz post foto. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yes, sit on sand w/ their foot attached to the glass. They need to be hooked to something. Quote Link to comment
vegasgundog Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 My green rfa lived in the sand in the front corner of my bc, attached to the bottom glass anyway. It didn't like where I wanted it to be. Which brings me to my question. When I moved everything into the rsm, I placed everything virtually in the same place, including the rfa. I however did not like this and went on the move and is now firmly attached to the under side of my gsp rock that I REALLY want to either move or do away with. I was worried it was going to keep moving until it hit my blasto colony so I guess I should be happy, but the gsp is way to close to the glass and when I pick it up the poor rfa comes up with it out of the sand. Any ideas how to separate the two? I may have to rescape a little and move them back, I just don't want the gsp to close to the lr. Quote Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 You will not be able to have and rock flower on the sand but i hope you know that that is why it is called a ROCK flower anemone. They definitely can go in the sand. i have some that prefer the sand actually. Quote Link to comment
blkhwkz Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 You will not be able to have and rock flower on the sand but i hope you know that that is why it is called a ROCK flower anemone. You should tell that to the 2 on my sand bed and that sand bed is around 2 inches so they are not attached to the bottom glass. I put them on a rock when I got them and they moved themselves to the sand next to each other and have been there for a few months. 2 Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 All of my big RFAs are spawning, super excited!!! Should I lower flow to increase the amount of babies? Im trying to record a video but my phone doesn't work with the blue lights only!! I definitely have three males and two females. Not sure about the others Okay changed the lights and took a video! Loading it. Not great quality and a bit NSFW 2 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 You don't have to change flow or anything, so the males are spawning? Females will just ingest it from the water column. Quote Link to comment

My wifi is down so I can't upload the video to YouTube Stoked to see the spawning. My wifi is down! Quote Link to comment
getmealemon Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Been away for a while and moved house.....all of my nems survived the move thankfully. Since setting up in new house i've finallly witnessed a spawning event. Got a new batch of babies, all very small but brightly coloured very early on which is exciting. Found this article about RFA's in Bali that i thought everyone should see if they havent already. Interesting colours on them. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/07/21/flower-anemones-discovered-in-bali-indonesia/ Quote Link to comment

I put them on a rock when I got them and they moved themselves to the sand next to each other and have been there for a few months. As i said id love to see a photo of a rock flower on sand and not attached to the glass but i still think a rock flower will do best on a rock but if you will say the recommended place is on sand your welcome but i still think rocks are the place to but em.
