Id this cool anemone

[eddiesamuil]

hi
I am trying to know what kind of anemone is this, my lfs said it's a mini carpet?

 

[ric maniac]

wow! thats absolutley amazing! i would like to know as well!

 

[kidreef]

r u sure its an anenome?

It is indeed a carpet anemone, Stichodactyla tapetum. They're commonly called mini carpets because they only grow to be about the size of a half dollar. Feed them and they'll split like mad.
Just wondering, how much is your LFS charging for one?

 

[kidreef]

they kinda look like some type of ricordea but any way do they pose a threat to my corals?

 

[eddiesamuil]

will, it host a true percula?

 

[ric maniac]

do they need the same light requirements as normal anemonies?

I have two of them sitting in the middle of a patch of palys and they don't seem to hurt them at all.
No they won't host clownfish.
As far as the lighting, I would say yes.
