Aquarium Care Requirements – Hellfire Anemone
- Lighting: Moderate to high. This Hellfire Anemone can thrive is any conditions.
- Water Flow: Moderate, indirect flow is ideal. Avoid strong direct flow that may cause the anemone to retract or wander.
- Placement: Place on rockwork with crevices where the foot can securely anchor. Allow the anemone to settle on its own, as forced placement often leads to movement.
- Feeding: Photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, silversides, or LPS pellets. Feeding supports growth and can encourage splitting.
- Aggression: Semi-aggressive. Hellfire Anemones have powerful stinging tentacles that can damage nearby corals. Provide plenty of space from other livestock and monitor wandering behaviour.
