What kind of carpets? Haddoni or Gigantea?I am thinking of getting a carpet nem
And was wondering what conditions is best for it to thrive in ie flow light parameters.
Is there a preferred Nitrate?
Thanks
I would love a gigantea but they are hard to come by in the UK.What kind of carpets? Haddoni or Gigantea?
I will have a look at these, thanksAnemone can live a very long time, if not indefinitely. If I didn’t have gigantea, or couldn’t find any, I would look for H. Malu for a couple reasons. They stay in the sand, I haven’t seen any much bigger than 8-10”, and they aren’t super sticky like carpets. Most clowns typically will take them. They are more difficult to acclimate than BTA, but once acclimated, the ones I’ve had are pretty resilient. Once they find a spot, the ones I’ve had, never wandered. BTA like to take a walk when you least expect it. Malu can have some very attractive coloration too, with strong light. Carpets like food (fish), so if your tank is smaller, expect that fish might go missing. There’s a couple strains of purple Malu that to me are stunning in color. There’s some nice greens too.
IMO, Malu are under rated. Probably one of the best reef nems, but they need a DSB a few inches deep.
NiceI keep mine in a 20... it fills most of it. They def travel. Nitrates less than 10. There is a damsel in with it. Still searching for a perfect pair of clowns. .. moved the clowns in the pic to a different system. I keep it under a single kessil A360WE. Feed it once a week. Its loving life. These are older pics. Its bigger now..
A agree with @Taylor t.I would love a gigantea but they are hard to come by in the UK.
Looking at what's been said I might just leave it.
I was thinking if setting up a small 10G in the future with just a Carpet and a pair of clowns.
How long do they live for?
