I'm considering purchasing a 10" red carpet anemone for my 80 gallon kitchen tank. It will have minimal fish, maybe a couple clowns and a single large sand goby (current resident). 2x250 watt phoenix halides + 2 T5s (Maristar fixture).
It's sparsely stocked and I would be dedicating nearly 1/3 of the tank just for the anemone. It has a shallow sand bed, but I might add more sand as I understand the carpets like a deeper sand bed.
I know carpets can be tough... I'm currently in a dialogue with the vendor as to how long he's had it, condition, gigantea vs. haddoni, etc.
Does anyone have experience keeping carpets? Anything I should be particularly concerned about regarding their care, etc? I've been doing my research, but if someone in the club has direct experience, I'd love to hear about it before I make the purchase.
Thanks...
