Brown color carpet anemone.Host to the indian clownfish varieties. Can be fed a small piece of shrimp or fish once in a while. Should be given bright lighting and a modest water flow in the aquarium. Will usually sit on the bottom of the aquarium by going into the sand. If disturbed it will retract below the sand. It will also settle on the rocks or the glass of the aquarium. Largest carpet anemone i have handled was 18 inch plus. The stubby tentacles are extremely sticky and will readily detach onto the hands or net of the handler. The tentacles may sometimes cause allergic swelling of the bare hand areas exposed to the tentacles. The broken tentacles stuck to the net remain potent for a very long time and will need to be removed with thorough washing. Safest to use a latex glove while handling them.
