Being long time reefers, my wife and I just purchased our first green Anemone from a local fish store.
It's a beautiful neon green color, not the brown with hue's of green. We also bought two Percs and we're hoping they'll make a home in the carpet.
We're also a little concerned one or both will become a meal. :squigglemouth:

I dug out a hole in the sand and he did attaché his foot on the bottom glass and hasn't moved in two days, so far anyway. I'm going to move the LPS's away from it.

WOW! Great find Kevin, and leave plenty of room for it. The ones I kept many years ago got to be quite large, like 24-30" in diameter and occupied 1/3 of my 180g.

Cheers, Todd

Keep an eye on the mouth --- want it tightly closed.

Percs don't naturally host S. haddoni, but I had a pair that were being hosted by one even before it was out of my hand.
Just let them take to it at their pace.

Thanks guys. We're real excited. Problem is, this is Patty's 29g cube and it was meant to be mainly for clams, shrooms a couple of LPS's, one diamond sifting goby, hawk and one other fish. But, with the Carpet, those fish may become dinner. :squigglemouth: So, guess I'll have to transfer it to the 150g reef, if I can ever get to it ! lol

Todd, I'll call you tomorrow.
