Blue Carpet Anemone!?

[bp]

I was thinking about getting a blue carpet for my reef. Does anyone have one? I was thinking about getting it from saltwaterfish.com does anyone have a pic of theirs from saltwaterfish.com? Any advice of this species is needed.

They tend to move alot, so with lots of coral... No,
i wouldnt get one.
But if you are not going to have much but the carpet.. YES!

Thanks Mr. Tuna, but does anyone have a blue carpet?

They need MH lights. Do you have any?

I have been thinking about getting the coralife 150 doubled-ended MH for my 29gal. Would this be a good amount?

 

[viper_930]

:yes:

I would go with a 250....

 

[viper_930]

Over a 29 gallon? I think that would cause heat problems.

They do tend to move a lot, and might eat fish, but if you do get it and the lighting, I wouldn't go over 175w. 250w will cause a lot of overheating problems IMO.

I watched one swallow a yellow tang @ an LFS. They move on a regular basis - tend to kill all but the hardiest of corals (read xenia) and spread out to be HUGE. If you get one and keep it alive and it gets established it will up and move one day on you.....
I don't think a 29 gallon is large enough for one .... sorry!
Now if you do get one and you get some clowns to host in it that would rock!
