Beautiful but DEADLY

Got a beautiful blue anemone yesterday and about 3pm this afternoon, I saw with my very own eyes one of my priced sand sifter was too near him and got caught, tried to rescue the poor sifter but he died within less than 5 minutes from the stings.
The sebae clown saw it and carried the body and fed her brown host anemone and within seconds he had a nice dinner... oh well... :

Carpet anemones have nasty stings. If you touch it you'll feel how sticky it is, that's it stinging you.

Will be returning it to the LFS. Ate another goby.

Put it up for sale here, heck, how much do you want for it?

It's only less than 1 week old, so I am not selling cheaper than my LFS price unfortunately.

That's a carpet for ya. I think I lost a CB, flame, and Eibli's when I first started out not figuring out it was my carpet until I saw the remnants of my last angel coming out of it's mouth... YuM.
