Default New Carpeting

Shag? Pile? Plush?
No, it's the amazing Stichodactyla haddoni, or Carpet Sea Anemone (or variant thereof).
(Many thanks to Tony & Linda for delivery and acclimation, to Jonathan & Katie for invaluable support, and to Ross for emergency tubing supply!)

First morning, new home:

Got 2 Pink Skunk Clowns (A. perideraion) that are currently hanging around a branching Euphyllia sp. on the left. Hopefully they will check out the Carpet in the next couple of days or so...

Christy - yeah it is amazing, and the photos don't even capture it, really.

Jon - it's now starting to dig in, the whole foot is sloped and the lead edge is displacing substrate.



It's also attaching to the rock just behind. Hopefully it doesn't move that one - it has a fair bit of weight on it. Structural, you might say.

My 20g seems so strangely empty now ...

Take good care of her, Alan ... she looks pretty happy in her new home.

(Don't underestimate her ability to topple structural rocks! You may wish to consider epoxying some of the neighbouring rocks together if you feel they're at risk..)
