Well i bought this anemone last May for my 12 gallon nano. Soon to find out that it was going to outgrow my tank in no time and made a trade with my friend 55semireef for the carpet. Well since that time i have had the chance to take it back, it was given back to me for free( what a good friend ), i did not like doing that but i could not deny this wonderful carpet and i took it like a good friend would. The carpet was about 4 inches across when i bought it and now when fully extended it is easily over 12 inches across. I paid back in may for this carpet 120 bucks, and now to me it is priceless. It was my very first anemone.
