It is definately without a doubt a mini carpet. I too have one that keeps that shape, outer edge rolled out. (none of my others exhibit behavior/shape) The pattern of tentacles is commonly seen in Stichodactyla tapetum. How big is it? I am guessing a maxi mini.
Very nice

Here is mine

Wow beautiful carpet anemone and blue clavularia!! I really want a carpet but am worried it will eat my fish. What lights do you keep these carpets under? How many watts? Sorry not to hijack the thread..haha

No problem on the hijack, I got my info. already. The anemones you see above are mini carpets and maxi mini carpets. I'm no authority, but I don't think these are much threat to fish. The minis only get about the size of a silver dollar. (if that) The maxi minis, I believe, can get about 5 or 6 inches in diameter. My maxi is only about 3 inches and my mini is about the size of a quarter!!

Thanks for the info

I never even knew there were mini carpets until I saw this thread. Very cool
What lighting do you have your under? How many watts per gallon?

I have 3-175w MH over a 125g, But he did live under pc's for a long time b4 I upgraded. (but I wouldn't say he thrived in there) Everyone's much happier under the MH.
