Green Carpet Anemone

[Britrover]

Are the Bubble tip Anemone & Green Carpet Anemone compatible ?

I have three BTA's in my tank and am planning on adding a Green Carpet Anemone and wanted to inquire if I would have any compatibility issues.

I think also Carpet need more intense lights (MH) then BTA...

If a Carpet anemone doesnt like where he is, he will move. And they do get very big - 12" plus - up to 18" across. My carpet moved dead center in the tank, right where I wanted my clams to go.

Isn't another concern with carpets that they'll eat your clumsier fish? Others can confirm on this, but I thought blennies and gobies and other bottom dwellers tend to disappear around carpets.

I have a green carpet, about 8"across. I also have a RBTA. The RBTA has stayed at the top of my tank. I put the carpet on the bottom of the tank where I wanted him, and he DID move about 6" away from where I had put him. All is fine though. I did loose 2 different orange diamond goby's though. Couldn't fine a body or a trace of them, then I thought about the carpet. No mandarins in my future...
