Carpet Anemone in Reef tank

Dayve · 05-10-2008, 08:28 PM

So, I have always wanted a pair of Clowns and an Anemone. Can I house a Blue Carpet in my 100 gallon Reef? I do not have Halides.

there really shouldnt be a issue, anemones like to move around until they are happy. make sure your water quality is good and you have no issues with amm nitrites and nitrates. carpets are nice but sometimes diffucult.good lighting and water flow is important also. good luck

I have flourescent lights, the blue attinic, and the 10k white ones. The tank is about 2 months old. I have a few mushrooms, some Xenia, a Christmas tree rock that is doing awesome, and a few others. Fish wise, we have a Mystery Wrasse, Canery Wrasse, Eiblie mimic Tang, and a Royal Gramma.

You definitely need to let the tank mature a little more. 2 months is a bit two young for an anemone, and carpet's aren't exactly the beginner's anemone. I'll try to find the link for all the anemone care guidelines I used to have.
