my new carpet anemone

[duke62]

just picked this beauty up 3 days ago from pets warehouse.its eating like a champ and thank goodness the place where i put him he stayed..

 

[mckostya]

looking great. i want one to, but keep reading horror stories about them...nice pick up!

 

[duke62]

yeah i heard some stories also but i wanted to give it a try.i always wanted 1 and they gave me a price i couldnt say no to.if he becomes a nuicence i will get him out but so far so good.and it looks amazing in my setup.

good luck getting it out, look's like it had lost alot of color and the mouth is starting to gape, just watch for further signs and best of luck with it

 

[duke62]

no its my cheap arse camera..its very brightly green.picture was taken right after he ate a silverside.

Very nice Carpet!

I love carpets....Nice....:splitspin

 

[duke62]

thing almost doubled in size

 

[topmav1]

What size tank do you have? I'm contemplating one too...but again...horror stories so unsure.

my RBTA has moved 3 times in the past 4 days and is killing everything in its path
so keep a eye on him

 

[NYreefNoob]

carpets seldom move once happy, and i would never do one again unless i had a huge tank or didnt care if other fish got eaten.

 

[dubs]

that thing grows i have one and it take up alot of room they are nice tho at least i like them i love when mine feeds

 

[duke62]

the only fish that have got eaten was a yellow watchman and a jaw..cant put any bottom dwellers in.when he gets to big i will have to say goodbye.right now its 12" across

That's a nice anemone. I saw it in person; it is huge.

 

[duke62]

its been in the same spot since i got him.the date is on the first post

I just got a 12 inche carpet anemone about 3 or 4 days ago. Think it would be ok to put a blue spotted jawfish in the tank?

Would these things kill any of my fish? Hippos and file fish ? Anthias?

If the fish get too close then yes it would. They are very sticky and large so they easily catch fish.
