Green carpet anemone clownfish. Like many anemones the green carpet makes an excellent host for most types of clownfish forming a symbiotic relationship. The tank is 38 gallons with compact fluorescent lighting. The green carpet anemone nbsp stichodactyla gigantea also known as haddon s anemone is best kept on a soft substrate bottom. Aquarium fish keeping is my hobby and passion.
When healthy this anemone is very sticky to the touch and when they grasp something or someone it is very difficult to convince it to let go without damaging the animal. The green carpet anemone can be found living either singularly on the reef or soft bottoms in the indo pacific region and the red sea. I bought a green haddoni carpet anemone was my lfs i kept eyeing it for about 2 months every time i went in i kept seeing this large haddoni carpet at the time i didn t even know what it was it was hosting a large maroon clown i thought it was just the most beautiful thing i had ever seen finally i shelled out 100 bucks to buy it like i said it was large my 125 gallon reef tank was. This is one of the larger anemone species.
They are capable of stinging and semi aggressive so should be kept away from other anemones and corals. This species of carpet anemone can eat fish in the display aquarium so use caution when housing a carpet anemone in with fish other than clownfish.
