My new carpet

[hondadude2k5]

A week or 2 ago I had a BTA that I got from a friend of mine. Well short story is that it walked into an intake tube for my filter and got chop sueyed. Well I went out and bought me a nice carpet to go in my tank and it is a little too big to be sucked up the tube. HA HA!!

Looks good. I hope your clowns will be alright. I had tank raised Ocellaris clowns. They started to check out the nem and ended up being dinner. I opted with wild caught and they survived. Nice score.

Agreed. Blocking the intakes can not only save your anemone but your fish and other corals as well. Some anemones such as the Ritteri will release their nematocysts or a certain slime when they get sucked into a powerhead or intake. Usually when they release their nematocysts or slime, most fish die in the tank and possibly some corals too. But usually it doesn't affect corals.
