carpet anemone and mandarin

[ChrisfromBrick]

Do I have to worry about the carpet (that I got with my tank- not by choice) eating my mandarin? I read somewhere that mandarins have some kind of slime layer that keeps away predators.

Clowns love him but he’s slowly moving around. I don’t have a ton of corals but will promptly get him out of there if he kills my livestocks.

Fish know who the predators are and are not.

I've lost several fish to a carpet in my 180g including a fox face, powder blue and a picaso trigger. I think something caused them to dart into the nem. Two died from stings covering their body. One was devoured and the skeleton spit out. That said I have a large blue haddoni in a reefer 170 and the possum wrasse and coral beauty have been fine for almost a year. I have a clarkii hosting in the nem so that may help. I think a mandarin will be ok because they are not really darty and don't spend time free swimming but there's always a risk I think

thanks, yea the previous owner made a big mistake of adding a haddoni to a 69g tank!
