Description:

The Borneman Rock Flower Anemone, a color variant of Phymanthus buitendijki, is a vibrant, disk-shaped anemone named after renowned aquarist Eric Borneman. Known for its intricate patterns and bright colors, it makes a striking addition to reef aquariums. Unlike other anemones, it doesn’t wander much once settled, making it a safer choice for mixed reefs. This variety is especially prized for its fluorescent hues and defined oral disk

Placement Tips

• Place on sand or in a low-flow crevice in live rock.
• Allow it to choose its own spot—it will anchor into a stable surface.
• Ensure enough space between it and other corals due to potential sting

Care Notes:

• Tolerant of a wide range of tank conditions but thrives with stable parameters.
• Feed 2–3 times a week for faster growth and enhanced coloration.
• Use a coral-safe container or ring when introducing to prevent drifting.
