Bought big carpet anemone

2bafish · Feb 4, 2012

Couldn't resist and bought a huge carpet anemone for my 8 foot tank. It's gotta be 12 inch in diameter. I have several other corals I target feed so he won't be an exception. Planning to feed him krill, shrimp, small chunks of fish and silversides.
Anyone have any experience and tips for me for these guys?

I had one, it ate most of my fish : (. I got rid of it and bought some bottom dwellers. I don't think you'll have a problem in an 8 foot tank though!

i have had this green carpet for years. it gets most food from mysis feeding my corals but i also feed it a raw shrimp once a week. the clowns never leave it. make a boundary around it with live rock cause they move and poison. love carpets. have one in my 75 reef and my 29 reef.
