I have a green carpet anemone and was just wondering if you can over feed it? Because it has eaten two fish (Orange-spotted gobies). Plus I feed him once a day.
I wondering if other fish can host or be come friends with an carpet anemone? I have a yellow head-Goby and he will swim around the carpet..Sometimes touches it but nothing happens. But the anemone would eat my other fish in seconds if they get near it or touches him.

Most likely its going to continue to eay your fish, unless it allows a clownfish to host with it.

depends on what type. This was takin from the post above.
Stichodactyla gigantea, Giant Carpet Anemone - Tentacles longer than other carpet anemones, and slightly pointed at tips. May be blue, turquoise or purple in color. Hosts Clark's, Ocellaris, and True Percula clowns.
S. haddoni, Haddon's Carpet, Saddle Carpet Anemone - Tentacles almost always two colors, imparting a mottled appearance. Hosts Saddleback and Clark's clownfishes.
S. mertensi, Merten's Carpet, Sri Lanka Carpet - Tentacles stubby, knob-like, uniform brown or occassionally bright green in color. Hosts Clark's and Ocellaris clownfishes.

Once your Clownfish mature and become more of a bonded pair then they will start to chase other fish away from their host. That is unless the Carpet eats the Clownfish before then. They are notorious fish eaters.
