Ok so i just recently bought a carpet for my 90 gallon reef tank.
Dead carpet anemone.
Do not make the same mistake that i did.
The haddon s carpet anemone lives singly in the shallow waters of the indo pacific and red sea.
I have recorded the dying process.
Fun and honest saltwater aquarium care.
That also has a ritteri anemone in there for 2 years that is as healthy as can be.
Red carpet anemone stichodactyla gigantea is also known as the giant anemone giant carpet anemone or giant red carpet anemone it s the rarest of its species and have a higher price tag than other giant saddle anemones.
Saltwater aquarium care subscribe to my channel.
My anemone was caught in the wave maker and did not survived.
This colorful anemone is also referred to as haddon s anemone saddle anemone saddle carpet anemone or saddleback anemone.
But imediately after introduction to the tank it closed up and did that weird thing where it just turns inside out.
Red carpet anemone or giant anemone are one of the largest of the anemones available in the aquarium industry.
If pieces of tissue are sloughing off the anemone is terminally ill if not already dead.
Cover your wave maker.
An anemone which remains deflated for longer than a few days is probably dying or is already dead.
