Rock Flower Anemones have become widely popular in the reef aquarium hobby. They are available in a myriad of vibrant, contrasting color combinations. They are considered to be one of the easiest anemone species to care for in the home aquarium, making them a great choice for beginner or advanced aquarists. They only reach about 4″ in size so they are even ideal for aquariums as small as 5 gallons. Prices typically range from $35.00 to $100.00 but I’ve seen one seller try and fetch $1800.00 for an extraordinarily beautiful specimen at one of the trade shows we attended. Sometimes referred to as a Rock Flower Anemone (RFA) or Red Bearded Anemone, there are actually 11 distinct species of Rock Flower Anemones which include: Phymanthus crucifer (Red Beaded Anemone) by Josh Saul | Dec 31, 2017 | Corals, Video

I'm back from my vacation to Japan. I wasn't planning on doing much reef related, but a TG viewer named Vlad met us out and graciously took us around town to some aquarium-related spots. One store in particular had some experimental LED fixtures that I want to try out on my systems here. Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.
