I only have two species of anemones in the tank. S. haddoni and maxi mini

i see, i was curious

Great, Its eating very well. I am going to feed it alot and see how much i can get it to grow.
I noticed when i feed 2-3 times a week its a lot bigger than if i feed it once every other week.

By a lot i mean 2 times a week.

I used to feed the blue one almost everyday, and he put on alot of growth in a short amount of time. I cut it back to once a week and its growth has slowed significantly.

The mini maxis and carpets don't seem to bother each other as far as I can tell, but who knows on a chemical level what they do to each other.

I love your blue carpet! very nice and healthy

Thank you, I'm very lucky to have found a healthy one

Small update: I moved a few rocks around so the carpet is not scrunched up on the glass. It is still very healthy and eats anything offered. Too bad my picassos show no interest.

Do any of the clowns like your nems? Which ones?

 

[ocellaris123]

Nope, none of them show any interest, I had some allardis which showed some interest in my green one, but both jumped from the tank if you could believe it which was a bummer (my flamebacks were harrassing a bit, and have since been sold as a result). Im looking to get some melanistic clarkiis in the future.

Good haddonis! I have a green one with a mated pair of maroon gold stripe clownfish that are highly protective of their "home" and never swim too far from it.

 

[ocellaris123]

I had a pair of golden stripes hosting the blue one, but the females sand stirring habits made me sell them. They looked really good in it.

 

[trueblackpercula]

It could be that they have no intrest is because......You have other LPS that are holding there attention. If you remove some of them the clowns may host your carpet

 

[ocellaris123]

They did show some interest in my orange torch now that you mention it. My LFS is going to get me a pair of melanistic clarkiis which should have a better chance of going into the haddonis.

 

[trueblackpercula]

Are you going to keep all the clowns in the same tank?

 

[ocellaris123]

no, I only will keep one pair in a tank.

ahhh im jealous ={ i wish i coulda found a blue haddoni, but im still happy with my green one i just got,

both your carpets look really good :thumbsup:

 

[ocellaris123]

Thanks; and im jealous of your green one . My green one is having a rough time and its survival is questionable. I got it fresh from the LFS so I took the risk and it looks like I took a bad gamble. I may pick up another established blue one if the green one doesn't make it.

 

[MidMichiganReef]

both are very very very beautiful, I love a good carpet

 

[ocellaris123]

Thank you very much midmichiganreef.

moved some rock and coral to make more room

 

[ocellaris123]

Small update: the green one didn't make it, just didn't adjust, but as luck would have it a friend gave me another well established blue haddoni
