Anemone Question?

TCK Corals · May 21, 2011

I was wondering what is the difference between Mini Max Carpet Vs. Adhesive Anemone? I am new to the anemone world, so excuse me if they are the same. Thanks a head for the info.

I think adhesive are much much larger when full grown, adhesives are also known as pizza anemones.

Kelby is right...

The adhesives are much larger,like much,much larger.They are known as Pizza Anemones as Kelby said!And they are really nice!They do host clownfish in nature,and in captivity aswell!

The maxi's stay much smaller,and are just not the same at all!lol

The Maxis get maybe 7 inches and will not host clownfish. They will host sexy shrimp and I believe some crabs. Pizzas can get BIG. Like a couple feet accross big. I think they host Clark's, Sebae and Saddleback clowns most frequently. I've seen some places selling Pizzas as Maxis so be careful.

Are these difficult to keep or are they easy like the Mini-Max-carpets.

The only fish known to host pizzas are clarkii's I believe.

There are a few more actully,Ill have to look at my list,but I do belive saddle's and possibly even tomatos,but I not 100% sure...

Yup, you have to figure the clown needs to be big. This is the type of nem that will gobble your false and true percs, along with any of your other fish unlucky enough to touch it.
