I'm thinking of getting one for my new tank that I'll be getting in a few months.
Do Maxi Minis normally stay in the sand, or are they rock-dwellers too? I would have 95W LEDs, so I don't think they would be climbing for light.

Nice! Keep 'em coming guys!

I think they are mostly rock dwellers. That is why many people put them on isolated rock islands in the sand so that they don't cross over to the main rock work. That is what I am doing.

Picked this one up a few days ago.

Ive had BTA's,LTA's, and currently have a Purple Malu. Ive been seeing more of these nems. Will they host?

 

[sam11909]

I have never heard of clowns hosting maxi-minis. I have about a dozen and my clowns would rather host in my candy canes. :lol:

 

[jt_milstead]

I was curious. I can they can get very colorful. My wifes tank is small those would be a good alternative if they would host.

 

[ssavader]

Sam, where do you get your mini-nems? They are really gorgeous in color!

 

[sam11909]

I've gotten all of mine semi-locally, mostly in Tallahassee and Pensacola. There aren't many, but I make frequent trips to LFS's and get lucky sometimes.

jt milstead - Minicarpets will eat a clown. NOT a host nem. Somewhere in one of these "mini" threads is a pic of a nice platnum occy getting swallowed.

 

[Eastamherstbias]

I have cut these guys many times. I am waiting for them to grow.

I highly doubt a maxi-mini could eat a clown, even a small one. If you can find the pic please post it.

They won't host clowns, but they will host shrimp. I've had a Periclemenes brevicarpalis in one since I put the anemone in the tank. He moved out of a rock anemone.
Nice pics Sam. and you are likely right. I don't see a clown getting eaten, but he might get stung and killed. Might. Certainly none of the other fish in my tank go even close to them.
