What you mean Joe? I have researched these and it seems for the most part people have had much success with clowns hosting in these without them being eaten.

LOL, I think you have changed our minds... We went with teh RBTA and got scared becuase it was moving and I did not want or LE corals to get killed so we got rid of it. We thought the the carpet would move a lot less. I have no idea what we will get for the clowns, They just keep making sand beds in the tank to sleep in.

clowns over time are know to host with alot of stuff. lps, mushrooms, and even in christee's case her powerhead. just give them time. i do have a long tentacle in the tank and it is happy. my tailspot blenny even has a home underneath him in a hole. have you thought of putting him on his own island for a few weeks to get him setteled in then make sure you feed him or the clowns and him in that spot then move the corals back? not a sure fire way but it sounds good

Look for one of these. They are hardy and take clowns well. They are a great altenative to nems and are better for the ocean. They don't move either.

Sarcophyton in the pick. This is a type of leather. Make sure you look for haddoni if you choose a carpet. They will eat more fish but are easier to keep. They are found in lagoons with sand and like to bury their foot. Look at the underside and the dots will be colorless. Any color dots indicates a gigantea (blue dots)or a mertensi(orange dots). These are very hard to keep and are found on the reeftop. It is hard to find a healthy mertensi or gigantea. Most of these die while being imported. If i had known this I would have never bought mine.
Best of luck
