Don't beat yourself up about losing them, you have obviously shown that you posess excellent husbandry skills. Carpets are some of the most difficult animals to keep in captivity. You may want to reconsider even trying to keep them again at all, as many an experienced reefer has met the same outcome as you have. You have quite the talent for micromussas; perhaps you could capitalize on that and expand your micro garden in your reef instead of a carpet? Just a suggestion, I'm not trying to tell you how to stock your reef.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=11147304#post11147304 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by ReefDoctorMicromussas
