Yellow Carpet Anemone

Shark Wu · May 2, 2024

Very inserting color in between Yellow and Green under nearly white light source.
Just bring this one into my tank today from a local fish store.
Hope I can keep it well and long.

It is a green carpet. Can be either Haddoni or Gigantea, I cannot tell from that video.
care for these two species is different so you got to correctly ID him. A picture of the column will positively ID him as one or the other.

I have a gigantea that started that exact same color. It's slowly turning more green.

I took a pic with filter and it looks like this.

If I had a clown only tank I would 100% get one.

I used to really like carpet nems. I'd like them again if my big blue one would come back out from behind the rocks where it decided to go after being the center piece of the tank for 6 months

I think "clown + anemone" is a reason why people fall in love into reefing!

Looks like it's expelling dead zoox (the brown stuff). Keep an eye on it, and if it deflates you should consider moving it to a QT tank and treat with Cipro.
