Thank you all! The carpet is doing great!!! It has a new host in it now. A couple days ago I purchased a saddleback clown and he has really taken to the anemone...

Here are some pictures

Thanks,

Matt

Beautiful anemone!! I love that green color!

Warning: polymnus are VERY rough with anemones and can kill them. Yes, the carpet anemones are a natural host for saddleback clowns but in the confines of our aquariums, the anemone will get abused.

Nice Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at the teeth on that Saddleback! Grrrrrrrr. He looks a snug as a bug in a rug. Great photography!

Thanks!! I have noticed him being rough some of the time... I did some further research and it said that it was the mouth that gets irritated... I don't see him around the mouth too much so thats good... Only time will tell.

I know I guess I didn't realize they had teeth... Thanks though!

Thanks Billy, booze, and bluespotjawfish for the compliments!

Lynn he is very happy it seems in the anemone, and thanks!

Here are some pictures of day 3 with the clown/anemone pair.

What types of foods should I be feeding the anemone? I have just been using mysis... anything better?

Thanks,

Matt

Craig Manoukian · 02-01-2007, 02:03 AM

A cube of mysis or an equal piece of raw shrimp once a week should do.

Woodstock · 02-01-2007, 09:39 AM

Beautiful!!

I feed my anemones a varied diet of thawed chopped silversides (1/2"), chunks of homemade mush, cube of Formula One, chopped shrimp (1/2"), or chopped scallops (1/2").

Great carpet and clown... looks like a lovely addition to your tank.

aquaman3680 · 02-03-2007, 08:37 PM

Thanks all,

Doni where would I find scallops?

Also where can I get nori? I havent found it any where

Matt

Woodstock · 02-03-2007, 09:05 PM

I get all of my fresh seafood from Harris Teeter grocery store. They have a great selection of fresh seafood all the time.

Some get their nori from an Asian store but I get mine from the LFS.

aquaman3680 · 02-04-2007, 08:18 PM

Doni... I checked at all the grocery stores for both and no cigar, being here only 3 months I don't really know where to find things yet.
Does anyone in the kansas city area know where you can find any of this stuff?

Thanks,

Matt
