Hello everyone:
These are my two new Carpet Anenomes. Just got them 2 days ago and they are the first Carpet anenomes I have ever had. I bought them from a person from craigslist that was taking down his tank. Paid 85 for the two. I got stung really bad not knowing this could happen handling them. I have them under 2 250 watt XM halides with PC actinic in my 55 gallon mixed reef tank. The tank has a 20 gallon long glass tank that I made into a refugium. I have a wavemaster Pro with 2 Maxijet 1200s, 1 SEIO 820 on 24/7, The return from my refugium and remora pro skimmer also add to the turnover. There seems to be enough random current in this tank.
I was wanting to get some tips from the experianced keepers about feeding them and any other good tips to keep in mind to help me make them happy in their new home. All help is appreciated, please.
Do these anenomes look Healthy?
How often do I feed them and what?
Should I soak their food in Boyds Vitachem like I do for my fish?
What is the ideal temp for these? I have heard they like 80-83 degrees. Think I read that here somewhere?
Are these considered hard specimines to keep? I also read that they were on Liveaquaria.com.
Here is some pics
Please let me know what you think.
