Being a maxi mini carpet I was unaware they would bond with anything such as clown fish or shrimp .It is a symbiotic relationship where the shrimp receives protection from the anemone and the anemone shares some of the shrimp's food. See them closely u will notice this
Molts aren’t heavy, normal flow in the tank would push it around.Being a maxi mini carpet I was unaware they would bond with anything such as clown fish or shrimp .
@vetteguy53081 we know they are not a hosting anemone but how would the molt make it to the top ?
Honestly, everything in my tank eats the molt. I too have a mini maxi and I believe they eat it as it’ll have some nutrition considering what the shrimp’s exoskeleton is made from.Noticed this morning my maxi mini carpet anemone is eating what looks like my shrimp ….

I witnessed this - my Genicanthus Angel was weak and on deaths door, my mini maxi decided to try eat his tail but reject it. Certainly an interesting but strange thing to see considering this was a 6” fish.Molts are cavities which can easily be blown around by current. If nem is at the top - its not getting enough light.
The only symbiotic relation a shrimp other than sexy and anemone shrimp have with a carpet is - its going to be a meal. There is no relationship with this shrimp.
Large mouth specimens like lobo, scoly and similar will ingest or try to ingest anything it can get a hold on. Not unusual to see this. At times. you will see them reject the object if it cant be ingested/digested
