Hi, i'd like to talk about my purple carpet anemone (Stichodactyla haddoni), mine doesn't have the spots underneath its foot.


I use to own designer snowflakes clowns that had no interest for my anemone, which was a real disapointment. i like the robe of my fish but somehow my goal of a relationship with both of them was crushed.


After several months, i exchanged my beloved snowflakes for the Amphiprion clarkii, and with in 5 min the clowns just dove into the nem. Since this the nem has transformed . Much more alive i should say, shenwas healthy before , but now that the clown are cleaning her, specially going under her mantle and brushing her mantel and stimulating her, she's just expanding more it seems, have her saddle shape even more, even her color seem more intense.


Anyone have a similar experience.


the pictures are with two different lighting one with and without the actinic.

Sometimes anemonies do better with clown fish... I find some of the time it is the opposite and they love their anemone too much and do damage.. I actually find this true with clrakiis allot and they can be real hard on a anemone...
