Which carpet is best for me.

[kartracertj]

I have a pair of ocellaris clowns and I really want a carpet. I have a 75 gal display and 2 175watt mh with 4 55watt actinic pc. I have experience with a hadonni, I had one for about a year in my 55 before I moved and I gave it to a friend who killed it. So which one of these is the best H. magnifica, H crispa, S. gigantea or S. mertensii.

H. magnifica and H. cripsa aren't carpet anemones.

Yes, I know I just threw those in there I wasnt really thinking. I do however have these on my list as possible canidates. Thanks for all your help.

Check out the RC Anemone FAQ:

Your aquarium may not be large enough for a couple of the anemone species you've listed. Your lighting may not be enough, either.

Hadonni it is for me, I found a good looking healthy pretty green hadonni at the lfs. I have been eyeing it for a month or so and I fed it tonight and it took the shrimp quickly. It will be easy to get out of their tank too because it is in the sand. They have it priced at 80 but the manager told me if I want it I can have it for 40. Is this a good price for a green about 6inches in diameter.

Sounds like a good deal. Good luck with it.
