Help with a red carpet

[Amphiprionocellaris]

I honestly think the best course of action would be to let things be. The anemone is already stressed just from acclimating to a new environment...the last thing you want to do right now is add to that.

I just wish you better luck then I had with my Red. Bought it on Saturday and Tuesday it was melting.

I'm sorry 2 hear about your lost. Did it look healthy when you put it in or did it look like it was not happy?

Yea thats pretty fast. I really think mine is just moving, from what it looks like. Well thats what I'm hoping for.

 

[tpdpercula]

Yours looks healthy to me at least from the pics. Your probably right its just trying to find its niche. Not sure about mine, looked healthy at the store and actually checked in on it a couple of days before I purchased it. Lets see some more/updated pics, please.

Right now he is doing good, He moved down back to the bottom right corner of the tank and is currently moving as we speaking. I love this guy.

 

[Haddonisreef]

I have 1 also if you dont mind me asking how much it was? Fill free to pm me w/ it mine was 275!

 

[CheckitOut]

Wow you got a great deal. Mine was $500. How big is yours?

 

[TRANSMATT]

It took 2 weeks for my red to pass. I bought him off a fellow reefer that had him for a couple years. I meet him to pick him up he looked awsome. I had a half hour drive home so I tuck him in nicely. So when I get home belive it or not he shoved almost his entire foot through his mouth (looked like he was having a baby)
I took over 2 hour to acclimate him and still he wnet back and forth till he died.

 

[Haddonisreef]

It can get up to id say 15 acorss, heres my blue and red pic was taken may 31 so a new pic would be better as far as size.
