sorry for the loss - they have been known to kill fish. do the clowns host the anemone?

No, not yet, just got the big carpet yesterday and everything seemed fine. guess i was wrong. hopefully they will start hosting soon as my onxy both have some beautiful color on them.

Anemone is spitting out his bones now so its confirmed. RIP little hippo

WOW... how long did that take??

yeah, from my experience the carpets are the stickiest. even the little mini maxis are deadly.

Sorry to hear about your tang.I lost a fish to a green carpet a few years ago.

Took all of 24 hours and then the nem ate 1 large damsel and a medium damsel which made me move the small damsel to my other tank. I think the nem got each of them over night in a matter of 3straight nights:uhoh3:

Hummm hungry... You put it right in the fish market and the fish do not seem terrified of it.

Some clowns would push away the other fish out of its reach.

Haddonis are very much known to be fish eaters.. Gigs are much less likely to eat your fish... CUC on the other hand....
