Carpet or rbta????

[Yonkers28]

I have 2 platinum clowns that are about 3/4"
Which is better a carpet anemone or a rbta?
Will a carpet eat my clowns?

don't think they will go in either since they are most likely tank raised

Before sandy I had 2 clowns from petco and they hosted a rbta.
I want a blue carpet but not sure if its the right move.

Carpets (I'm assuming you're talking about a Haddons) are very difficult animals to keep alive. They don't like a lot of flow, and do not take changes in water chemistry well.

They must have at least 3 inches of sand to feel happy. They are a risk with any and all fish. (Clowns are less risky).

That said- I strongly recommend a Haddons versus a gigantea or magnifica. The haddoni is much easier to keep alive.

None of the carpets ship well. It's usually much easier to have success with an anemone that has been established for a while.

Bubble tip anemones are typically cloned or captive raised so that's a better option, IMO.

Thanx Eric
Yes I was talking about haddons.
I've had a rbta for a long time. My lfs can get me a haddon carpet about 3" big. I'm worried it will eat my clowns

I hear u dubs. Yes I started the tank back up about 6 weeks ago I know I'm supposed to wait 6 months or more but I was just wondering
