Carpet ID and Clowns

[jan_one]

Anyone know this two carpet ID? which carpet is the best for percula?

The first looks like it may be a small haddoni and the blue one is a gigantea. You would probably have the best luck with perculas hosting a gigantea but they are very hard to keep healthy. What are your tank specs, lighting, flowing, tank size, etc. If you are somewhat new to anemones I wouldnt try anything besides a bubble tip anemone.

i agree with the ID's and neither is suitable for a 25G in the long run. the gigantea is the best choice for those clowns but they're one of ( if not the ) toughest anemones to keep successfully and require very strong light, flow and lots of room to grow.

without more info i agree with calireefer12, a BTA is best suited to your situation.
