The giant carpet anemone is very similar to haddon s carpet anemone but it grows much larger up to two and a half feet in diameter. I feed mine 5 silversides a week. In the wild they can get to well over 3 feet. This anemone is one that is known to be host to several species of anemonefishes including the common clownfish.

It also has light spots on the underside of the oral disc and longer pointed tentacles while haddon s anemone has shorter beaded tentacles.

Intense lighting is a must 250w hqi 20 000k ab metal halide is what i use now and weekly water changes. Their tentacles are the longest of the carpet anemones but much shorter than a long tentacle or bubble tip anemone.

Giant carpet anemones are one of the largest of the anemones available in the industry. This anemone will host most clownfish and should be placed in a large well lit aquarium that is well established and has stable water quality. Some comments by michael. The gigantean carpet anemone typically will get over 2 feet in diameter and will frequently get to around 3 feet when kept in ideal conditions.

It can be kept in an aquarium but is a very challenging species to keep alive and healthy for more than 3 5 years.
