Mini Carpet Anemone.
I bought my one and only mini nem from a guy on NanoReef.com. I probably had this one for 4 months. It was getting bigger and bigger, but not splitting. Then just recently it split into 3!!!!! I'm a proud momma :)
Unfortunately my mini nem decided to make it's home at the back of my tank. Unlike most anemones, these do not require high lighting at all. In the photos here you can hopefully get a view of all 3 anemones. They are a purple, pink, and green combination...so pretty!
Most anemones are hosts to clownfish. The mini carpet anemone is not. However, my sexy shrimp (male) has taken to hosting in this anemone. He rarely leaves it.
The mini carpet anemone is very sticky! Makes a good trap for unsuspecting passerbys. For some reason the shrimp do not get stuck in the anemone (thankfully). At some point I will be selling the anemones that split. If you are interested in buying one...let me know. I think I'll charge $20 each. I want to wait for another split first though.
It's a good idea to feed the anemones often...this leads to more growth and splitting. I have not had any troubles with this species. It resides in my 10 gallon tank.
Hey Reef Goddess, I would like to buy one of those mini carpet anemones. Let me know when you have one available.
