The one have up for sale hosted two clowns for over a year.
Strees is usually what causes them to split. Not all the time but usually.
My Yellow tang will constantly pick food off the Carpet before he eats it. They will eat fish but they are not super fast at it.

Here is my new Maxi-Mini Anenome.  Sexy shrimp love it!  The clowns have tried it out a couple of times but don't seem to care for it.]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:43:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=481706&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#481706 <![CDATA[Maxi Mini Anenome's : ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=481704&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#481704 Author: chuckfu

I knew large carpets were potential fish eaters, the non-hosting thing is news to me. Reef and learn I guess lol.
To be fair though when I first got into the hobby my lfs at the time had several large clowns hosting in carpets, that was my only visual experience with them and the rest was what I read, consider me now revised educated.]]> Sun, 12 Aug 2012 15:32:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=480860&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#480860 <![CDATA[Maxi Mini Anenome's : I have 5 of them and they don&#039;t...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=480852&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#480852 Author: DanhNgo

I have 5 of them and they don't host clown fish. In fact one of my snow flake got eaten by one. They are a very aggressive fish eater!! On the bright side they are so cool to have and look at. ]]> Sun, 12 Aug 2012 13:50:59 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=480852&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#480852 <![CDATA[Maxi Mini Anenome's : What I have heard;1.

What I have heard;

1. They won't host clownfish
2. They are fish eaters.
3. Their sting is more potent than a bta or larger carpet anenome.
4. They split regulary.

I'm looking for someone that has had these before and can give me some insight.]]> Sun, 12 Aug 2012 13:32:21 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=480851&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#480851 <![CDATA[Maxi Mini Anenome's : What?

What? Carpet anemones are the "preferred" anemone of several types of clownfish, including the common ocellaris, the BTA's you often see them hosting in is something they adapted to in absence of a more preferred type of anemone.  A maxi may get less attention from a clown than say a giant carpet anemone but clowns will even host in fuzzy mushrooms or other corals, even ones you might never think they would try if thats all thats available and their hosting instinct has kicked in.

Also tankbred clowns typically won't try hosting in anything until something triggers their instinct.

Most clowns wont host in carpet anemones.

I've seen these in several nano's and pico tanks doing just fine, what were you finding that was particularly bad about them?]]> Sun, 12 Aug 2012 00:35:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58370&PID=480829&title=maxi-mini-anenomes#480829
