Common name: Rock Flower Anemone
Scientific name: Phymanthidae
Phymanthidae, commonly known as Rock Flower Anemones, are a family of marine cnidarians that are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their vibrant colors and ease of care. They are known for their short, stubby tentacles and a wide array of color morphs, ranging from solid hues to intricate patterns. These anemones often embed themselves in sandy or rocky substrates and can form symbiotic relationships with certain species of clownfish, though they are not as commonly hosted as anemones from the family Stichodactylidae. They are relatively hardy and can adapt to a variety of lighting conditions, making them suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists.
