Mini maxi carpets thoughts?

[alexytman]

I have a 80+g display tank that had dwarf lionfish (so smallest fish is couple of inches atleast)
I loved the shape and coloration of carpets but was scared it will eat my fish as they get huge and are in the way.

But recently I found these things called mini maxi carpet that Max out around 5"

What are their care? How often do they move? Can they eat fish That are 4in?

I really want one to Put around an overhang. I also have a rock anemone on the other side of the tank.

Care is good lighting and flow with occasional feeding
They move till there comfortable , like any other nem

I like them quite a lot- all the beauty of carpets but without the size. Granted, if your fish is stupid enough to swim directly into it, it's probably a RIP. They're just as sticky as their bigger cousins.

What about rock flowers. Smaller with some great colorations.

They are beautiful, and doesn't move from the spot so won't sting

Guys, I got some Duncan like 2 days ago and fed it yesterday, now it's all closed up and one is releasing some thick brown paste? Is that paste the same as when the other LPS release waste? Is has a thicker consistancy

Our Duncans are really moody.

I acclimated them for 40min, then used coral rx. I put him in medium lighting. I can see tentacles out of the holes now that the brown blob has been released. I think it's starting to open

Poop. Don’t feed too often. Most folks rarely feed LPS.

They never stung anything in my tank.

Not saying they won’t, just never happened for me.
