The purple carpet is doing awesome! It is about 12" in diameter and eats like a pig!

Also, for those of you following my thread, I have a follow up story regarding the pair of black saddle backs that killed my blue carpet. As you know, I removed them from my reef and took them to a LFS. I visited that store last weekend (as usual ;) ) and was asked to help trap/remove the same pair of clowns from their large display tank. Apparently, they didn't take me seriously when I told them the clowns were anemone killers! The clowns were doing the same thing to their huge green carpet anemone that they did with my blue... they were going in/out of its mouth stressing the it very badly. I loaned them my fish trap and within a few days they had captured both! Fortunately, their carpet is rocovering well. It is a good thing they removed the clowns when they did!

I did notice them 'nipping' the tenticles but the majority of the damage is done internally. Both clowns go in and out of the mouth of anemones.. both dart in (sometimes at the same time) and disappear :( They do it constantly.

Rescaped!

It all started with moving one rock 4 hours ago! LOL! I wanted to move one rock away from the purple carpet... so I did... then it didn't look right so I moved another... and another... and another... :smirk: 4 hours later the ENTIRE tank is rescaped!! I lost the valley in the middle but gained a lot of caves! I'll get pics soon :)

Thanks Booze :)

I will not get more clowns. I will keep the pair of true percs that I've had for a while and that's all. I've seen the male in the purple carpet but they usually stay in one of the euphyllia colonies or the goniopora.

Here are a few pics I took yesterday ...

Some of the caves look like dark areas in the photos :/ So it is difficult to see the depth of them. The fish REALLY enjoy exploring their new maze of hiding places.
