What's wrong with Carpet?

I would try finding a smaller piece of krill. Maybe rip the krill into two. Mine (( albeit a lot bigger )) suck down 5-6 large pieces at a time, and I don't have any come back out.

thanks for the advice! I am going to keep an eye on it and post any new updates. I will make smaller chuncks and feed it just one small piece this coming weekend. I hope it stays healthy!

BTW once the clowns pulled the krill out of the carpet, all the fish in the tank had a go at the remains. I finally had to net it so it wouldn't create a spike in the water level.

That Anemone looked horrible in the first picture, glad he seems to have bounced back, at least for now. Eating is a great sign.

On a side note: Is it looked down upon to see an anemone you like at a store, and if the store has had it less than a week, ask them to hold it for at least a couple of weeks, to make sure it is healthy? Of course, they would probably want payment, which should not be a problem, but it seems like so many anemones, especially carpets, arrive at a local store in poor condition.

I was fortunate, in that my Carpet was the least attractive of like 10 at my local store, so it stayed there for almost two months, while the others were all purchased. I have had it for 3 weeks now, and it looks great.

Should the buyer have to take all the risk?

I'm sorry to say that my carpet has passed away. I removed it from the tank today. I took my water to the LFS and all water parameters are good. Not sure why it died. I also am going to lose my BTA. It's been in a clump on the top of the LR for 2 days now and has no color, but I can't get it off the rock.

Sorry to hear that. BTA's are generally fairly tough critters. I'd check all your waters parameters.

I did. I checked it myself, then took it to the LFS and they matched.
