Maxi Mini Carpet... Mini Carpet... and what??

[bradleym]

Ok first the pic, and I apologize for the quality, but it's what I can get.

All anemones are at or near their full grown sizes. All of them can walk and will readily eat mysis as long as the pieces are small enough. All except the Maxi Mini at the right have split for me before.

Now the questions. On the far right, obviously, is a Maxi Mini Carpet. On the far left, around the rock edge, are what I used to think were 3 Maxi Minis when I bought the first one. And on the rock in the middle, as far as I can tell, are the "Mini Carpets" that some people consider a pest.

So what do I have? What's what? The sizes for the 3 species shown are approximately .5 inches max, approx. 2-3 inches max, and approx. 6 inches max.

There are 3 around the edge of the rock of one kind, and 5 or 6 in the middle of that same rock of another, smaller kind.

I think those are mini carpets also just a differant color.

Ok thanks. I just thought the bigger ones might be something else because they get more than 4 times the size of the tiny ones.

Mini carpets are the small guys on the left

So you are also saying the medium sized species on the left is another variety of Mini Carpet? OK thanks for the input.
