Green-pink mini maxi carpet.. help

nanomania · Jul 5, 2017

Hey guys i got a mini maxi yesterday, and due to the water flow, it went a bit inside the rocks and is stuck there. Will it eventually move and find its own spot? Or how to i remove it? Here is the pic.

It's not stuck just acclimating, an extremely hardy anemone that will do fine without interventions as long as water quality and lighting are sufficient. One of mine is mostly shaded and has been for months and months.

Yes, leave it alone. It will probably move around a couple times till it finds the right spot.

Give her some time. My anemone hid for about a week at first. Then she tried a couple of locations before finally settling down.

Guys the maxi has come close to toadstool(almost on). Will it kill toadstool? Pls help

Relax they will be fine. The anemone has the ability to move away from toxic neighbors.

My 2 move in and out of rock holes daily depending following the daily light schedule. It is very odd

I'm so done with Maxi carpets I THINK I have 6 in my tank. I buy them and within 2-3 days they disappear and move to a black hole that exist in my tank. I think they are dead then I see them show up one day and then disappear again. This week the nicest one I have showed up front and center of my tank after being MIA for almost 3 months. I'm hoping it stays in its place. I do weekly WC and really spoil my tank. My friend neglects his tank with no WC for months, no dosing and cheap lights and all his carpets are in the exact spot he put them months ago. Very frustrating from now on if it can move on its own it's not going in my tank.
