just be careful carpets are known fish eaters they can host for a long time and then boom they decide they want a meal.
They look good together though !!
Just a little warning that it could happen.

He's not lyin either . . . I've had my green carpet for about a yr and a half now without any clowns. . . Just recently i added 2 ocellaris clowns and within 30 minutes they went into the carpet. . . About an hour later, while i was showing a friend that stopped by, my carpet devoured one clown and the other he ate a day later . . . My carpet is about a foot in diameter right now and the ocellaris were pretty small so not sure if that had anything to do with it . . . They were never really able to completely submerse themselves in the anemone. . . they nipped at it b4 they were eaten, to ingest some of the poison and acclimate to the anemone i guess, but it didnt pan out too well for them. I'm also going to get a clarkii so I'll let u know how mine does . . . If he gets eaten too my carpet is getting das boot. . .
