Anemone??

chrissymoon · Nov 9, 2021

Can anyone tell me what type of anemone this is and how to care for it?

I thought you already indicates it was a green carpet anemone? The image isn't clear enough to really tell, but it's definitely not a bubbletip.

I'm not very experienced, but it looks like a mini maxi carpet anemone to me.

mini carpet anemone. May be a little bleached judging by the color

mini maxi anemone. Very easy to care for. They don't move much and are extremely sticky. Lower light than most anemones. Flow doesn't really matter with these guys, but they will find a spot they like.
Generally they will pinch their foot into a crevice or between two rocks.

Thanks. I was told it’s a green carpet but I wasn’t sure since it’s so small

You don't have to feed them, but small pieces of raw shrimp are a favorite for my nems. And when I say small, I mean cut a small piece of shrimp, and then cut that piece in half haha

Maxi Mini are technically a part of the carpet family, just much smaller.
Small pieces of food can be fed to it by placing it on the tentacles, the food will stick nearly instantly.
They do not require feeding and I do not feed mine.
Also don't worry too much about specific care requirements for this species, they are extremely hardy and will accept most conditions suitable for fish and other inverts.

You should try feeding it, they're one of the cooler anemones to watch eat!
