We have 2 Haddoni carpets in our aquarium. 1 red and 1 green. They are doing awesome. We are waiting for our clowns to host in them they do get close once in awhile. We are thinking about adding 2 saddleback clowns.

Very nice. Congratulation. BTW, Saddle can really be rough on their anemones. Make sure that the the anemone is much bigger than the clowns and that it is really healthy and can close it's mouth tight and fold over well to protect it's food or it will not do well with Saddle back clownfish. My clown almost kill a healthy but too small carpet anemone until I removed it and sold it back to the LFS.

Thanks, I don't think I will have an issue with the size of my carpets. They are very large over 15"++

Adesimone1, what are the dimensions of your tank and what type of led lights are you using? Could you expand like maybe lighting schedule and intensity of the leds. Your very lucky to have that red anemone. Those are extremely.hard to find and when they do pop up they $500+. Depending on size and just how red they are. Extremely lucky. And then on top of that someone else has already acclimated the anemone for you from the ocean. That first acclimation is usually when all the problems occur. Others have mentioned for you to get another anemone. I wouldn't buy another wild caught anemone and put it in that tank with that red carpet. There have been plenty of horror stories with accomplished aquarist who have had anemones for years put a wild caught anemone in there tank and within weeks have both of their anemones die on them. If you ever decide to get rid of the red one send me a pm first
. I would be more than willing to find him a good home in my tank.

They are in a 90 Gallon acrylic aquarium. They have almost 1/2 the tank dedicated to just them all open space no rock. Of course they went right for the rock work. So we had to rearrange that a little. lol They seem very content now. We had to change the flow of the tank to make them happier. They both like less flow. Our lighting is an OCREEF Xseries 48" LED fixture. Which is set up to do the sunrise sunset affects. They are definitely the 2 show pieces of our tank. They are both amazing creatures. As for adding anymore anemones I don't think that will happen. I will post a full tank shot.
