Touching Carpet Anemone

New photos of carpet under led , mouth is open so a little concerned about that .

Looks fine to me. A slightly open mouth is of little concern. If the mouth is gaping and the insides are coming out that is another story. Mine will often open a little, but usually close back up. They kind of do this in cycles.

Ok , I would agree it opens and closes .
Last night it looked totally fine .

I am mildly worried about my clowns - they went from being ravenous begging for food to just contently laying in the carpet . Lol

I thought my carpet was eating my clown one day. First experience with haddonis. It had eaten a Magnificent Foxface, madarins, and anthias, so just thought it was eating the clown too. It did not. However, the clowns will literally go into the anemone. All the way into the mouth. Multiple ones fit. Crazy!!!!

Love that haddoni by the way. Nice color!

I’m honestly kinda amazed at the colour ,

At the LFS it was a sandy cream colour.

Now the mouth is a beautiful green and the tentacles seem to have a little green sheen .

Definitely way better than what I thought I was buying , wondering if maybe it was bleached at the store and whether it will continue to colour up

About 35 years ago I bought a green carpet about 1ft across and the pet store guy jumped back and made someone else get it out...it clearly hurt him. After that I have no desire to touch a big one with my bare hand to find out what it felt like

Honestly, you kind of get used to the numbness after a while.
