Mini maxi carpet

[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171031/079a55647374fe5db88bbdf6586888eb.jpg[/IMG
Decided to pull the trigger. Not all that expensive and supposedly very hardy. Bought the rock that the anemone was on because I didn’t want it’s foot damaged. What’s y’alls experience with them?

I was told mine is a Maxi-mini but if anyone reading this thread wants to properly identify mine I’d appreciate it. We named our guy Mick after Mick Jagger because when he eats, he looks like a giant pair of lips. I love him and find him truly fascinating! He has grown a lot since we got him and when spread out he easily measures 6 inches across. He went on a “walkabout” for one week recently but has settled back in his original spot. Now for the bad news—I woke up one morning and he was all smashed up in the rocks. I thought that was strange and then I noticed my clownfish missing
:( I did not see him eat it but I’m certain he did. My husband and I have decided to just sit back and let our tank mature and be a fishless tank for now. For now I have no plans to get rid of him bc I really like him. I just don’t want to put any more fish at risk.

Tundra can you get a clearer pic? Almost looks like a haddoni.

My mini looks a lot like yours so far loyd hasn’t eaten either of my fish but I’m still aware it could happen and I’m sorry you lost your clown

Yep it’s a mini maxi, I have about 40 of the Bali mini maxi anemones.They are blood red with green mouth and max out at 3”.

Nixy you have a maxi anemone, they get around 6” to 8” across.

Sorry to hear it got your clown they are quite sticky so I can imagine how a fish would get trapped very easily.
