blue carpet?

[MIKE ALERS]

i wanting to purchase a blue carpet anemone and im wondering how difficult it is to keep them happy.i have success with my bta and condy how much more difficult are the carpets.im also wondering if the blue carpets are less agressive than the beige ones.

aggressiveness and husbandry have nothing to do with color and everything to do with species.
What species of "blue carpet" are you considering?

i dont know what type it is? i know there is two kinds hadonni and gigantea but wich is easier to maintain?

haddon's is "easier" by far!

Make sure to read the Anemone FAQ at the top of this forum.

is there a easy way to know wich one it is?

 

[Lance M.]

gigantea's are usually all one color and the tentacles are usually longer then haddoni's.

Here are some pictures of my haddoni. I've had it for 7 months or so now. Hasn't been any trouble at all -- it came in super healthy and shipped perfectly (( think I got lucky )) It is in my 75 with 2 * 250 DE. + 2 *54 T5. Have a decent amount of flow in my tank -- 600 GPH return, 2 MJ1200s, one SEIO 820 and a Hydor 4.

Acclimating.

Right after being put in the tank.

Aug. 1st.

Around Sept 15th -- natural sunlight from a skylight.

FTS (( yellow/tan haddoni has been with me for 6+ years, the BTA about the same time --- hard to tell, not sure if I still have the original or a clone. ))

Is that a BTA on the right?

Yep, and it is now 3 btas. Lucky for me all there have stayed in that spot, but I am going to get rid of two of them, just to be safe.
