Carpet anemone questions

[lacrosseboss18]

My LFS just got these guys in today. I am fully prepared to QT and treat them in their own dedicated tank.
I have QTed a Gigantea before and treated with Cipro.
The guy at the LFS didn’t know much about them besides them came in today.
The red was 2-4” (small!!!) and the Blue 6-8 but I’m not sure. Smallish salad plate.
tanks a 40g radion xr30 blue gem 5s, Nero 3s, a couple of rainbows and a pair of clowns. Been up for a couple years and doing well.
What types of anemones are they so I can start some research.
Thanks

Haddoni and look good so far

I'd guess haddoni as well. There's a slight chance the the one that appears to be blue/purple could be a gig, but we'd have to see the underside of the oral disk to check for visible verrucae (typically blue or purple dots).

Ex long islander here ...few lfs there from what I remember are knowledgeable when it comes to nems ..Country Critters in patchogue -about the best in that dept ...there may be some new stores since I moved out 20 yrs ago...but I doubt they're much better ...Pet barn in franklin square used to order ritteriis for me back in the day , but they didnt have the lighting to keep them well ,for long ...think they're outta business now..IDK if it's still the same - but absolutely fish just over the bridge in NJ was my go to place for WC clowns and rare anemones ..back in the day ..

If you were looking for tips on care. Be sure to feed regularly with benepellets or similar. Sexy shrimp take easily to them. I blame my carpet anemone for eating gobies and hawkfish. So take caution. The red one is a real score.
