Any problems with that Huma Trigger eating corals or inverts?
Something like this? That's a blue gigantea carpet in a 180g.

A Mertensii, once it's established. They will never move.

I think from 2" to 3" is perfect.

I think a nice purple crispa would be a great choice. Once they get established they a pretty much bullet proof. Here are a few pics of mine at different stages of its life. I don't remember who I sold it to. Maybe ShowJet. If they are healthy they will live where ever you put them, up in the rocks or in the sand. They are not very picky about current or light and are generally accepted by all clown species. The purple ones are a little rare, but no more so than a healthy gig or mag that also happens to have nice color.

Beautiful. I never see the purple ones and I rarely see them that large.

We are blessed w/ nice LFS here in southern cal, but even still I don't see hardly any of those bright purple Crispa's around.
I saw a site called Neptunes cove in Texas, not sure how far they are from you, or how good they really are, but their site showed some nice colorful nems.

Lol. That store is 5 minutes from me. Haven't been there in a year because I didn't care for it last time I went. Will have to check it out again.
There are actually like 4 saltwater stores within 15-20 minutes of where I live, but I just never see anemones as exotic as what's here on this board. Also they are frequently in poor condition. Once in a while, one will get a blue or red carpet and charge at least $600 for it.

ryanrid,
There was someone, from Sydney, who wrote about cutting Gigantea several years ago. Do you remember who it was? I need to apologize to that person. I think there are some recent data regarding cutting Gigantea. I still would not do it but it appears that some Gigantea survives that process.
