I bought a so called ''GREEN CARPET ANEMONE'' from a vary nice and
respected pet store. It 's color was a littile faded but I thought that
it would come back. Its been 3 month now and it is still the same color.
It is huge and sticky but it dose not sting me and look vary green.
I have a cinnamon clown but it doesn't go in it. It just hovers over it!
Can some one tell me what thy think it is PLEASE!!!! :help:
P.S. I use metal halide with two blue fluorescents bulbs
feed it frozen fish give it suppluments and have a 55gall
em I doing soming wrong????
Doing it 5 years with a salt and fresh water tank!
THANKS!!!

What are your water parameters?
Could be that you aren't doing anything wrong at all. Some green carpets wouldn't get as bright as others, and some clowns just choose not to want a host anemone.

Are you asking exactly what type of anemone this is?
If so then I have to agree that with the pic it's just to hard to tell. If you want to try to repost another pic or send me one that isn't cropped then I can take another look at it on my email.... birdsall12@chartermi.net
Sounds like your feeding it alright.
But tell me more about the lighting, what MH bulbs do you have and what spectrum are they?
What about the blue bulbs, normal flouresents? what wattages do you have?
Please try to give me deails about your lighting. If unsure look at the writing on the bulbs.
How old are the bulbs?
What is your photo period?
Are you running a skimmer?
what about pH value?
What about calcium and alkalinity test scores?

I have 2 MH from Venture lighting (American made screw socket bulb) 250watts each
and two coral sun (400-450nm From zoo med) 32watts each!(The blue light's and..... yes there flouresents!) Im starting to think that it is a green carpet anemone..... so I think the question is how too make it brighter.(What do you think?)
I sent you some photos so maybe you can get some on here! (Please??)
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

P.S the lights are brand new and I run them about 8-12 hours a day (9:00am
blue lights, 11:00am one MH, 1:00pm two MH, 5:00pm one MH, 7:30pm just blue lights,
and 9:00pm off!)Do you think this is to much?

Ok is this 250 watt MH bulb a Euro bulb that is 10k or not?
I don't seem to have recieved any photo's from you, least there don't seem to be any in my inbox, or even a delete box. Try again., I'll be here all night.
You want to simply know what kind of carpet anemone it is? Is that right? or was there any other problem. How to make it brighter looking, lets examine those lights alittle more. Let me think about it.

My anemone is defiantly geting enough light! Maybe to much?
What is a "Euro" type bulb?
I'm not sure how many K's my MH is.
Can you give me any advice on some supplements that would brighten
up the green in it!
