Do you have an updated video on these? Would love to know what all you have learned since this video was made! :)

Thanx for a great video...& appreciate your speaking slowly & clearly explaining info!

rock flowers are my favorite anemone, great video!

i really love the rock flower the most personally, thanks for sharing friend

One of my favorite anemones. The feeding response gets faster over time as they get used to a particular food. Funny, I was about to post a close up video of mine feeding.

Great job as usual and a very interesting species.

Stunning. Love your name too! Tidal Gardens is such a perfect description. Had to subcribe! The baby anenomes are adorable!

Thank you!

The purple and green ones are probably borneman anemones. They reproduce more quickly and are purple with green oral disc.

Very informative and relaxing video. Subbed

Wow. I am blown way by the sheer diversity :D

Very cool Stan!

And now I want a rock flower anemone again... thought I'd gotten over that idea!

Great video thanks!

Great vid

"Rock Flower Anemone" is the name we use mostly in the Midwest states too, also known as the Rock Anemone in the east and west coast states its just simple terminology, its a member of the Phymanthidae family still and as we all know RB the industry uses common names for coral are very numerous no need to be picky. Stan you did a great job shooting this video. We again really liked it

These come from Florida as well :)

Nice setup, should be easy transition... Congrats!

I had a solid green one years ago that came with my TB Saltwater rock'; '03 or so. Did really well, my clowns eventually hosted to it. Sadly, everything died 2 days after the local railroad sprayed fungi/herbicides on the tracks s few blocks from my apartment. Looking forward to getting these again now that I have a house.

Oh wow that sucks. I hope your new setup thrives for you!

I know it's been awhile since this video was made but did you ever have more success in the future growing the babies to be adults? I'm curious if they need feeding or if feeding is bad for the new babies.

Dosing live phytoplankton helps a lot as far as babies surviving. Haven't figured out if it's the tons of copepods as a result of dosing or if they are consuming the phytoplankton out of the water column. They may be consuming both 🤔

would love a Tube Anemone video

Loved the video, but I'm having the slightest problem getting over the fact that you're saying anenome not anemone, but even Nemo had trouble pronouncing it:) That aside it was a great video, thanks so much!

If you are looking for rare RFA you can find them on Facebook. RJ Spires with Savage Reef has beautiful Rock Flower Anemones. We’ve ordered quite a few from him & they are healthy & beautiful! 😀 Thanks for the video!!

The Atlantic ocean seems to have these anemones in cold waters, will it be possible to acclimatise anemones in colder waters to higher temperatures? Than can you please do a video on Gorgonians and the food and care needed.

Can rock -and flower anemones be in the same tank, or is it the same rule as with flower anemones??

Thats pretty interesting. What about symbiosis? Have you tried them with clowns or other anemone friendly fish?

Hey I have some baby's in my tank any tips how I can help them grow?

Than, I'd like to get on like the one shown at 1:38. I did not see one on the website. Do you, or will you have any in stock soon? This would be my second order from you and I really am enjoying my first. Thank you. Frank S.

do you think it could be feed with frozen shrimp

Just got 3 two green one red orange.

I have a Condylactis Anemone, but I’d also like a Rock Flower Anemone as they are beautiful and hardy (I’m pretty new to the hobby) I’m just worried they’d engage in chemical warfare (I have a twenty gallon with coral so that wouldn’t be fun) Should I get a Rock Flower Anemone?

Never had any luck keeping them . can you keep them if there are RBTA in your tanks ?

I'd imagine that the rbta may sting the crap out of them. They're definitely worth setting up a nano rock flower garden tank with some sexy shrimp though

what is the name of the one in 1:30

Nice video but there is one concern I have. I've never heard of them procreating asexually. RFA have genders. The males normally don't get larger than 3 in whereas the females could get closer to 4 or 5 in. It's one of the only ways that you could try to tell them apart. They reproduce based on some kind of calendar or lunar cycle, most people report almost always on the equinox or very very close to it oddly enough even if they'd never see natural light. The males release their version of sperm into the water column which the females capture and they grow the babies inside of them until they're large enough to be released and normally the babies stay very close to them for quite some time. Many people have reported that the babies disappear overtime and I agree that they probably were not nourished correctly and I think often they get sucked up into the filter. There are some great articles online and a couple videos about people that are breeding them that can explain this whole process better. Some people capture what the male releases and then use a turkey baster to spray it directly on the female and that seems to warrant much better success with a larger number of babies. I am mesmerized by their colors and patterns and textures every time I see them. For those people wanting to purchase them, the ones that have the most beautiful colors and patterns are referred to as Ultra. There's another type that is far cheaper referred to as common but they tend to be solid white with just a little bit of color on the mouth or the tips or sometimes are they are just solid green. Hope that info helps everyone! If you don't find the links that I've read before let me know and I'll dig them up and post them for you.

Will flower anenomes eat mandarin gobies like a carpet may?

@@dannycastaneda1974 yes I did 3 x 50 % water changes over a week for 3 weeks. Cleaned out sump and refugium thoroughly. And had to remove the 2 shrimp I had that were agitating them to vomit up the food they ate. Also started a new bacteria cycle from a few different strains to help with all the bio media I put in and added more phytoplankton 3 varieties. Which helped up my copepods. They started growing back amazingly well and didn't move.

@@dannycastaneda1974 it was the peppermint shrimp I had as well. So I would try watch them closely, especially at night. Maybe see if you can get a separate tank that you can put the rock with the aptasia into either with the shrimp or to scrub them off. I know camel shrimp are a known problem for rfa but peppermint shrimp can be as well since aptasia are similar to rfa. So you may be too be rid of them

ANEMONE!

Do they host clown fish

Rock anemones and Flower anemones are two totally different creatures, no such thing as a "rock flower" anem.

Reef Builders everyone calls them Rock flowers. RFA. I've bought them from countless different lfs and even from a wholesaler and every one of them called them Rock flower, RFA. You can see them listed on dozens of websites under that name and all over eBay on that name.

I love these anemones but sadly I had tried to introduce two of them into my reef tank over a span of 3 months and they both disappeared. I think my tiger cowrie ate them. Anyone have a similar experience?

It took me a couple times of you saying it for me to notice, but you're definitely saying anenome instead of anemone.

Will you be getting any more of these mother fuckers in stock?

It's aneMoNe, not Anenemy :]

You realise it's pronounced anemone not anenome right?
