Ultra Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone

About this invertebrate

Ultra Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone is a saltwater reef invertebrate that adds natural movement and a visually striking, carpet-like presence to an aquarium. As a carpet anemone, it typically forms a symbiotic relationship with light-providing organisms in its tissue, so it is usually placed in a reef setup where it can receive suitable light. In practice, this anemone is best used as a centerpiece animal (or a carefully planned addition) because it can expand over time and may interact with nearby tank inhabitants.

Features:

• Carpet-anemone style body that “presents” differently as it stretches and contracts with water movement
• Relies on adequate aquarium lighting for energy from its symbiotic system (group-level guidance)
• Prefers stable, clean reef conditions and consistent husbandry once established
• Benefit from appropriate water flow that helps keep the animal detritus-free without blasting it
• Often appreciates supplemental feeding in addition to its photosynthetic energy (group-level guidance)

Specifications:

• Scientific name: UNVERIFIED (only “carpet anemone” group is specified in the shop name)
• Care level (group guidance): Intermediate
• Tank type: Marine reef aquarium
• Lighting (group guidance): Moderate to strong light (suited to carpet anemones)
• Water flow (group guidance): Moderate flow; avoid direct high-blast flow that can cause stress
• Placement (group guidance): Rock or substrate where it can attach and access appropriate light; provide space for expansion
• Diet (group guidance): Photosynthetic energy supplemented by meaty foods as needed
• Temperature (group guidance): ~24–26 °C
• Salinity (group guidance): ~1.023–1.026 specific gravity
• pH (group guidance): ~8.1–8.4
• Adult size: Varies by species; allow enough space for gradual expansion
