I recently purchased an established reef aquarium and it cam with a big green carpet anemone (8-9 inches when expanded). While I was getting ready to transfer my livestock and the anemone to the new tank, the anemone ate my beautiful big purple tang!!!! I was told by the LFS that being that they were in close confines and a stressfull situation (in a 32 gal. trashbin awaiting tranfer to the new tank) is why this happened. After doing more research though on these animals I am wondering how safe they are to keep in the tank w/ my other fish. So far my fish are steering clear of it- but i just hate the thought of one of them swimming into or too near it at night. I am housing 2 clowns (not concerned about them), 1 foxface, 4 damsels, 1 pink tailed trigger, 1 royal gramma, 1 flame angel in a 90 gallon tank. Should I maybe get rid of the carpet for the sake of my fish. If I decide to get rid of him...what is the best way to go about removing him from the rock that he is attached to? why do i keep referring to it as a "he"???
Anyway, any suggestions would help. He...it appears to be very healthy, fully expanding all day, very very sticky, but a bit light green...not sure how dark it should really be. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
