After the tragic loss of my S.Haddoni in my Great Reef Boil 2013 A/C Failure I was devastated. He'll be missed but time marches on. I was just in Plano, TX this weekend and went to a beautiful shop, Neptunes Cove. Picked up a new carpet, TBD tomorrow. I'm tres excited! I will love him and I will feed him and I will stroke his little beak. He's green w/white stripes.

Beautiful healthy carpet!..........But you may not want to pet him. Mine "pets" me occasionally and it is not fun Lol!
 
Nice! I shop Neptune's Cove all the time. I'm in Allen, where are you located?
 
So you're saying I shouldn't take my clowns advice to snuggle up in the carpet like a pillow?

My mother lives in Plano and I was there for Mother's Day. That place is awesome... a tad chaotic but one of these nicest most well stocked places I've seen in person!! His tanks are beautiful and obviously cared for.

Thanks Connie! I thought these things were easily come by but it's taken me a month to locate one! well at least a specimen with unique colors. I wanted a blue but no luck locating one.
 
My new carpet just arrived and is acclimatizing as I type. He's a beautiful little guy!!! I was hoping for a little one I could raise into a monster. I'll post some images once he's in the tank I love when something you've sought out finally shows up in the AM!
 
That's by far the stickiest animal I've ever had the displeasure of handling! I know that's a good thing but darn! Spent twenty minutes getting him outta the bag, off my hands, and now he's stuck to the glass lol. Hard being gentle with something like a ball of fragile superglue!

Too many pictures I know... but once they get settled and larger you rarely get the chance to take such photos.

Thank you! I've had carpets in the past but none I've thought we're "cute". Seems the cuteness of lil things even translates to carpets lol they've always been one of my favorite animals. Other nems I think are beautiful but IMO lack real personality. Someone will be offended by that and speak of a RBTA who told great jokes, but I've currently got a RBTA and a BTA and they are pretty but dull... like my last girlfriend. Anyways carpet nems, specifically s.haddoni, are awesome and I highly recommend them!! Finding a nice healthy specimen has become VERY difficult though! Used to be easy.
