I figured he was just "Special"...lol
I don't really care just as long as it makes it another 2 weeks. And yes it just gives me something interesting to keep an eye on and see how it progresses or if like you said Tony it does anything at all. Just happy that it has settled in a spot and seems happy. Do yours Tony shrink up abit at night? Not alot but it does get a little smaller.

Mine do shrink up a bit after lights-out. I liken it to more like they expand more during the day to get more surface area available for photosynthesis, and once it's night they relax a little (rather than thinking of it as shrinkage).

Okay good one less thing to stress about
 Now how come when i look at your pics of your new one and you old ones there tentacles seem so long compared to mine. Someone on RC mentioned that awhile back as we'll. Should i try to feed him more? More flow?I added more flow and his mouth seemed to open more and he moved about an inch back to less turbulent flow...He is still getting a fair amount but not as much as i truly think he needs...It is blowing up the oral disk occasionally and moving his tentacles at all times... Would the flow contribute to tentacle length or no?

Uhmm i guess i have feed it twice in the 2 weeks...The first time was a couple of small krill and this last time i i bought a bag of some organic tiger prawns and i just cut one in half and soaked it over night with some selcon.
That disappeared mighty quickly i might add I am pleased that he looks so good...We'll see i guess what happens with the "mouths" Would be cool if he decided to do something like that. I did read on RC months ago about a guy who's carpet split. Not sure what kind but it took a few months i agree and he documented it all. I am going to try and search RC for it today to see what kind it was.

Excellent. Glad to see another of the same "batch" is doing well
Just a question regarding the feeding. Have you observed your anemone catching anything in its tentacles far away from its mouth and then somehow eating it? Or is anything you feed pretty much dropped right into its mouth? The reason I ask is because mine has caught a few pieces of stray mysis (it's very "sticky"), but I haven't observed it actually moving it to its mouth....if that makes sense?It's interesting, because I was just reading a thread on RC about asexual reproduction of carpet anemones, and saw some pictures of a Gigantea "budding", similar to what seems to be happening in your third pic.

Hey Drew
We'll i guess i am in the same boat as you. I have seen him catch the mysis but never bring it to its mouth. But when i feed the shrimp it does actually take it to its mouth. As he usually has a fold over one part of its mouth i just drop it on him and he does the rest. Which thread is it on RC i don't think i have seen that one yet. I am still trying to find the thread about the guy whos carpet split but am having a hard time finding it.
