The Metallic Green Carpet Anemone is easy to keep, acclimates quickly and can tolerate a wide variety of conditions. However, they can get rather large so be sure to provide enough space around it. The Carpet Anemone has a brutal sting that can harm corals, other anemones and the hobbyist, so use gloves when handling. Be aware this anemone has been known to migrate around an aquarium, even if totally happy. If a moving anemone is not desired then one trick is to place rock rubble around it to slow down movement. These anemones prefer strong lighting and medium to high water flow.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
