I recently got two, the green one got ripped real bad but is recovering nicely.
The red one crawled out of sight :( http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...kbak/mini2.jpg red one, it's twice the size you can see http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...jkbak/mini.jpg |

i need one of those. all of them look really good!
|
I'm thinking of getting one for my new tank that I'll be getting in a few months.
Do Maxi Minis normally stay in the sand, or are they rock-dwellers too? I would have 95W LEDs, so I don't think they would be climbing for light. |
Nice! Keep 'em coming guys!

Ive had BTA's,LTA's, and currently have a Purple Malu. Ive been seeing more of these nems. Will they host?
|
I have never heard of clowns hosting maxi-minis. I have about a dozen and my clowns would rather host in my candy canes. :lol:
|
I was curious. I can they can get very colorful. My wifes tank is small those would be a good alternative if they would host.
|
Sam, where do you get your mini-nems? They are really gorgeous in color!
|
I've gotten all of mine semi-locally, mostly in Tallahassee and Pensacola. There aren't many, but I make frequent trips to LFS's and get lucky sometimes. :D
|
jt milstead - Minicarpets will eat a clown. NOT a host nem. Somewhere in one of these "mini" threads is a pic of a nice platnum occy getting swallowed.

I have cut these guys many times. I am waiting for them to grow. |

They won't host clowns, but they will host shrimp. I've had a Periclemenes brevicarpalis in one since I put the anemone in the tank. He moved out of a rock anemone.
Nice pics Sam. and you are likely right. I don't see a clown getting eaten, but he might get stung and killed. Might. Certainly none of the other fish in my tank go even close to them. |
Thanks for the info...

I googled the same thing and came up with the same image after reading your post. I read the thread and it's actually a target mandarin being eaten. I did some more research and found that there are a few other cases of maxi's eating fish, but the fish are usually sick or dieing when they are eaten. I think it's probably a lot like other "reef safe" anemones in that they will eat fish if they get the opportunity because the fish is either slow, sick, or small. I know that I have a lot of maxi's in both of my tanks, and both tanks have tiny gobies and clowns. I haven't had any fish go missing, but I might just be lucky. :D
In my opinion it's a risk worth taking. And the odds that a maxi-mini is going to eat a healthy fish are pretty slim IMO. |
