Carpet Anenomes?

[bacchus_fl]

I have recently purchased an Atlantic Carpet or brown carpet (?although it has a greenish color?)
He seems to like to move around alot. Is this normal or is it in search of something i.e. Light or food?
Should I feed it? If so what, how much, & how often?
Thank You!

That is normal. They move around until they find 'the spot.' This will be based on current, light, etc...
You shouldn't have to worry about feeding it really. My clown used to take care of it for me. As long as it has enough light you should be alright, which looking at your signature, it looks like it does.
I hope you use r.o. water. Tap water could mean the end of your anemone b/c of metals and other bad stuff.

I do use RO water. My tomato clown seems to perfer my condi. Do you think the carpet will still eat enough without a host?

Don't sweat it too much. If you do regular water changes, it should be fine. Occasionally, I used a turkey baster and gave mine a little 'formula' food. But this was only once or twice a month. Your Tomato may warm up to it eventually.
This might help too:

I think the closest one there might be the Stichodactyla gigantea.
I did notice some pages on nutrition and aquarium care.
