Carpets and eating fish?

Todd, I almost gave up on you. When I wrote this page I was hoping for a reply from you.
Thank you for your post.

Thanks. I think this thread was started when I was out of town.

I wish I knew what I have been doing to be so lucky about not losing more fish to them.

It isn't moon lights -- up until 2 years ago I never ran them, and now I only have them over 2 of my 3 tanks.

However, lately I have noticed that some are more sticky/have a stronger sting then others. I recently sold off one of mine -- green stripe -- and it was a great deal sticker then my others. And its sting was a lot worse too, my hand would actually swell up if I touched it without gloves. Whereas I don't have that issue when I touch my other ones.
 
I don't really think that Gigantea's are much less aggressive than others. I just think fewer people are able to keep them alive to witness them eat a fish. My S. Gigantea ate a perfectly healthy 6" female crosshatch trigger.

Wow! Only the best meals for your anemones! ... and here I thought silver sides were expensive!
