Actually, I have it under a finnex ray 2 @ 18". It was completely covered by sword leaves and purple cabomba and when I chopped some leaves away and moved the cabomba I saw it.

Anubias will flower in all kinds of lighting conditions. Mine always flower best in lower light with no CO2.

Mine flowered for its 1 year anniversary since being dropped into my tank. I did cut the rhizome in half a week earlier to propagate it, that might have triggered it.

Pretty common for them to flower, here are a few of mine

If you can get them to flower emersed you can propagate them easily.
