📜 Backstory
'Rainbow' is the catch-all trade grade for wild Phymanthus crucifer that carry three or more distinct colors on a single animal. These are sorted out of mixed wild import lots from Florida and the Caribbean and graded up by anemone-focused sellers. They fetch high prices purely because true multi-color individuals are uncommon in any given collection and cannot be reliably bred to type.
Keeper tips for this variant
Set it in a low rock crevice or sand pocket with moderate PAR and gentle flow so its foot stays put; avoid high-flow areas that keep tentacles permanently retracted.
