Carpeting with Carpets?

Does anybody have two or three carpets anemones next to each other in effect carpeting their substrate? I know they move where they please and whatnot but I am considering putting a second carpet next to mine and I think it would be a cool look as they are the same species and should be able to touch without stinging each other. Please post pics if you have them, or comments.
I decided to do it here are the pics
Thanks,
ANthony

IMHO, the same species should be ok. Getting an anemone to stay where you want it is a whole different story. ***)

bad idea with fish in the tank though. Carpets can and will eat fish if they get the chance with 2-3 in the same tank its more apt for a fish that might get away from one only to be cought by another.
a buddy of mine had 1 large carpet ut ate a large sohol tang.
FWIW

IMHO, reef dwelling fish are well aware of anemones sting. They very very seldom kill a healthy fish.
