Whoa mini carpets? I've never even seen these, how big do they get before they split ?

 

[small alien]

I don't know that much about them. I've seen some called mini and some called maxi mini. I get the impression the minis go 2 inches and the maxis 5. Someone will know. It's Reef Central!

They almost look like a mushroom of sorts, quite cool, I'll have to try and find someone who can order these.

There are maxi-minis, that get approximately 5 inches across. And then there are mini-minis that stay less than two inches. I only have the maxi-minis. They both are classified as Stichodactyla tapetum; however, they are likely different species. The maxis aren't known to be prolific cloners, although some people report they have observed this. The minis are known to divide regularly. The maxis can be fragged without issue from what I've read, although I haven't tried it myself.

Ooo la la. A very spicey little number you have there, garygb. Is it mini or maxi?

Maxi

The colors on those are amazing, I keep a majestic and meridithi angel, I wonder if they would bother them. What kind of lighting are they under?

 

[small alien]

T5. I've only had mine for a couple weeks so not really sure how my lighting will affect them long term. There were under T5 in the LFS.

Here is my maxi mini. I love it, but my wife doesn't She wants one with more color like purple, red, deep blue like we have seen online. Oh well. Still looking for them. I want my sand bed covered in acans and maxi's. It has since moved (from the rock in the pic) to the sand bed and seems to like its new home. Now if i can only win the lottery?
