Happy Carpets!

Look at the size of these babies!

Oh man, those are nice!

Robert -- curious about the3 decision for substrate. Most Haddoni keepers use a finer sand of at least 4-5" depth for their carpets.

He's not really keeping them though. Long term, absolutely, resale, use what was in the tank already.

Mine worked in the same crushed coral substrate, the anemone foot found its way to the floor of the tank

I understand that but Nems in general often don't show distress for many months once a "slide" starts" and they are unhappy. Certainly not saying that's the case here, but they can be delicate and keeping them in optimal conditions prior to a move to a new tank would make sense if it's easy. That's why I was curious.

That being said my Haddoni was kept in a bare "nem" basket for months prior to me getting it in a tank. It's doing fine, but it was a concern.

I'm sure it would especially in a deeper substrate, but they do have delicate feet. This is a good discussion.

Would you prefer to be slide off the bottom, or ground with sandpaper? It's far harder on the nem to remove it below sand then is with reef bones.

These will have home fairly fast with minimal stress from holding. Usually they sit in a carpeted tank at the exporters.

It's a good point.

They have direct access to the bottom glass. And although you can’t see it, but there’s enough sand mixed with the Aragonite substrate to make them feel more comfortable.

I need to find bigger tank for them…lol
