green carpet

[fishfatty]

I am going to get a green carpet anemome...It is -8-10" wide. My question is, what kind of flow do these guys like? also, are they really fish eaters like some people say? My tank is a 75 gal. 20" deep, 48" long, 324 watts T-5, 1 1/2 years old...Thanks!

Medium flow should be plenty . Yes , they can and will eat fish . If a fish gets close enough to it they might be consumed . Also I have a clown that hosts a green carpet along with other clowns with anemones in other tanks . I have seen a clown grab a fish and feed it to it`s anemone .

ugh..what are the chances do you think that a tang or angel or wrasse could be consumed? I think my fish seem pretty smart..lol, but you never know...?? opinions? thanks Dawman!

They are one of the worst for eating fish. If you keep it well fed (large frozen shrimp, krill, silverside, etc.) by feeding it once or twice a week you will improve your chances greatly of it being more fish-friendly. I have heard many reports of them eating all sorts of fish that inadvertently swim into it.
