eklikewhoa Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Where did you get it from? If you ever decide to propagate, please hit me up! or run across one. Link to comment

My lfs saltwater fantaseas it was only $45 and from what I've read these things breed pretty fast so I'll defently let you know Link to comment
HVani Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My LFS had one earlier this year. It was very nice looking but they wanted $75 for it. Link to comment
alexversa Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have one exactly like it. I got it from my LFS for $35 as a "Mini Neon Carpet Anemone". I had never seen one like it until now. Link to comment
Thelizardkin Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Bad news the aneome isn't doing very good it's shrunken quite a bit and has a few white spots any idea why? Link to comment
psidriven Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Though these are being labeled as maxi minis, they definitely are different. I had three and from my experience, they move around more and aren't as hardy as my other maxi minis. Mine stayed small, moved around and after about 6 months, I don't see them any more. During this time, I fed them the same sivlerside and mysis as my other mini and maxi mini carpets. Hopefully someone can chime in with some pointers on how to care for these properly. Link to comment
Lalani Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 As far as I've seen, nems like this don't last long in tanks. I think it was gena who had one for a while and it even started to split, but ended up melting completely. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Really sucks to hear how all these aren't making it. Link to comment
Thelizardkin Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 it's still hanging in there it got a little better but still looks pretty bad Link to comment
alexversa Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Mine moved the first day I got it but after that it never moved again, its sat happily on the side of a rock. In the pic its bigger and more stretched out than normal as I had just fed it the night before. 1 Link to comment

Rollermonkey Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My maximinis are odd buggers. One acts like it's NPS, and hangs almost completely upside down. Since I got it, it's moved about 8 inches. First from where I set it, to the underside of the same ledge. Then, for two days, it climbed out and on top, into the full blast of the MP10. It moved so it was directly over my Duncan for a couple days, then finally went back to where it had been before. The other is huge, 5-6 inches across, but some days squeezes way down into it's crevice and looks tiny, less than two inches and oval. I just let them do what they want and target feed weekly.

That's how mine are too, out of the 7-8 I have a third of them are in caves or under rocks. Link to comment

alexversa Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well mine has its foot buried in a small hole in the rock, but it is near the sand. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I was curious because SOME call these mini carpets. But carpets always bury foot in the sand and to the bottom glass of the tank. Link to comment

Lawnman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I recall a thread about these. I thought it was a mini Haddoni but it wasn't. Link to comment
alexversa Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 They just don't look anything like regular maxi Mini's. I wonder what exactly they are. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have a tiny green one that looks just like these reds, nothing like the rest of my maxis and it almost looks like the foot is in the sandbed. Link to comment

It was weird he hosted the nem at first but when it started to die he stopped and now he's hosting in it again Link to comment
