Birdsnest is a weed. But yours looks nice. Mine looks more like.... an actual bird nest.

Lol, mine is looking a little rough after last night. Note to self, don’t frag in the dark, lol.

Picked up these with some store credit I had!

I’m trying to get them to settle on this rock I had in the 90.

I hope so too! I want to get a few other color variants if I see them. These things are awesome.

Looking for a pink with black tentacles and a black with pink tentacles. I feel I could get some really stunning babies with those colors along with the current ones I have.

I feel RFAs are very often overlooked and underrated. Looking forward to seeing yours open up wide!

So true! I overlooked them for years! I don’t know why. I guess I assumed they would wreck havoc on a reef similar to BTA’s. Really loving these guys and the variants they can come in. It’s like Pokémon, gotta catch em’ all! They are opened a little more today, they’ve moved a little bit. Let me grab a pic. It’s peak so it’s more white, they look even more vibrant in ramp down dim UV/blue light.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with @Ron Reefman and his love of RFAs. I consider him the "go to guy" on all RFA related things.

Ron's tank threads are below and both entirely worth reading. Be careful though as you'll get addicted!

Ron Reefman's Rock Flower experience

I've been in love with anemones even before I was started in this hobby about 15 years ago. I really got crazy about them when I started to collect some while snorkeling in the Florida Keys (with the proper license) about 12 years ago. I totally fell in love with the very colorful Rock Flower...

Build Thread - Ron Reefman's new 90g build

I'm going to be building what I expect to be my last tank. It will be a 36' x 30" x 20" which is about 90 gallons. I've just ordered the tank glass and managed to find a local supplier who has access to low iron glass. So the front will be 3/8" low iron and the rest of the tank will be 3/8"...

Yes he does know his RFA’s. His thread about breeding them is actually what peaked my interest in acquiring some!

Had a rock fall, some of my favorite acros lost new growth branches and one mille was half eaten by my goni Kinda bummed out.
At least my efflo is looking alright today.
