Carpet Anemone finally sent back

Well after 2+ years of my carpet anemone I sent him back to the LFS this last week.
I blame him for several fish deaths and taking up a huge footprint.. which was ok for the last year as he didn't move, but he finally toppled over some rock on the move again and injured (not critically) some zoos, a leather and a SPS of mine.
The anemone spawned a baby, got caught up in a power head and was a good focal point for awhile but now my derasa has plenty of room to grow in his old spot.
The LFS actually gave me 20 bucks credit (bought it for 35 a few years ago) but looking at going to see it now if I get a chance tonight

He didn't come out easy but I don't think he tore at all either....
The 20 bucks would be a nice chunk against the achilles tang I want
but the tank he would end up isn't fully cycled and not thrilled about having to catch him out the temp tank.
Anyways thats my anemone post.

Those thing even look menacing.
Not kidding, I saw a Blue Carpet Anemone at my LFS that was about 15" in diameter. That thing could probably eat a full-size Queen Angel!

I'm blaming it for 3 chromis, a blue hippo tang, and one other fish I can't remember and possibly an old cleaner shrimp... just for the fact that they were all EXTREMELY healthy and the hippo ate awesome the last night I saw him... and there was his belly food and partial fish laying in the anemone the next day.
I was SLIGHTLY mad that day but still kept him but vowed no new fish until he was gone.... now I can fish shop :D

Maybe you could get mini carpets like Lmecher does...they are so cute
If you saw my tank you'd see it needs a good fragging already -- which is why my big frag tank is cycling

Not chancing anemones anymore with my corals although I get totally jealous of people that have clowns living in theirs.

(my clown hosts a cave)

Mine hosted one of my colt corals for about 10 seconds, in which the colt didn't think that was appropriate behavior and closed up.
Also saw a small nass. snail try and go across my crocea clam --- which went alright till the clam shot him across the tank.
Wierd what you might see at any given time.
