I have always wanted a carpet but never wanted to buy one only to have it die. A few weeks ago a local reefer put this one up for trade and I was able to get this well acclimated nem. He had it for 2 years and bought it from an established tank where the owner had it for a while. I figure it's length of time in captivity and continued good health gave me about the best chance I would have of success. When I brought it home I had to peel it off the bag and when I added it, it's foot was attached under the rock within 20 minutes. It is very sticky which I'm assuming is a good thing. Here is a pic from a short while after adding it to the tank:
Any advice would be awesome. I have 2 BTA's and 3 mini carpets now but this guy is a whole different thing. I'm stoked!
