Hand feed with raw shrimp atleast once a week.

the care is no different than a regular carpet anemone..

Who sells the mini carpets? I've never seen them advertised.

If you want them to multiply feed every day. I use mysis or Rods food. They are pretty easy to make happy and don't require extra lighting the large carpets do, you can keep them under pc's. I have mine under T5's. Here's link to one of mine. : )

here is a pick of mine....like mentioned seems to be very easy to care for...mine was a hitch hiker on a zoa colony 8 onths ago and has since split in two...looks like he is ready to split again...

mine are under 150 mh and are spot feed a mixture of krill, brine, mysis, rotifers, and cyclops every three days..
this pic is pre split...and he is about 4.5" across

Nice, very nice, wish I could get my hands on one of those. I am very jealous!

i wish it had of stayed put...when it split it also moved onto open live rock...now i can barely see my purple anemones...LOL

here is a recent pic of the little guys..now abotu 2.5" each, you can see how well they blend into the coraline

Does anyone know where to get them (when available)?

 

[Blugobi]

I got one about 2 years ago and it did well for awhile (3 months) and then it disappeared for a bit, then one day it was back. Since then I now have about 20+ thru out my whole tank. I am actully in the process of propogating them. I am going to use the Calfo method and see what happens. Here is a picture ow two of mine.

any questions...send me a pm

Sorry, where is an edit button when you need it?

It's on nano-reef.com Livestock Classified

OH, I just got it, they won't let me give information about something for sale on another forum. I tried, I know so many people are searching for these.
I'll give you a clue N_N_-R_E_.com, I hope they don't change that!
