yes you can, i know someone who has a carpet, has had for at least 7 yrs i think, most of that time it has been under MH but about a year ago maybe she moved it under LED's, has been doing great, says color has even improved at bit

thanks for the reply..i always wanted a carpet and clowns

 

[Toddrtrex]

What type of carpet are you thinking about? There is different care requirements between a Haddoni and a gigantea

thanks for asking..probably gig because haddoni is harder to keep right?

I personally have only kept Haddonis, and besides finding a healthy one ( which is key to any anemone ) I have found them pretty easy to keep --- my oldest is 9+ years old, and I have made plenty of mistakes over those years.

I have 3 of them. And beg all you want, not going to happen.

Couldn't get rid of my "old" one, since I have had it so long, and my blue one....never. The green one, took me too long to find a healthy one.

I would say that that gigantea are much,much harder to find healthy than haddoni. In fact, right now I know of more than one LFS in my are that have super nice haddonis. In the past year I have only seen one super nice gigantea in an LFS.... it resides in my tank..... I live in L.A. too, ton of high quality fish stores here....including reefhotspot....

+1, both of the stores near me have healthy haddoni's right now. The rare occasion that a gigantea comes in it always dies within a few weeks, without fail.
