Aquarium fish keeping is my hobby and passion. The green carpet anemone nbsp stichodactyla gigantea also known as haddon s anemone is best kept on a soft substrate bottom. This mated pair of amphiprion ocellaris or common clownfish has accepted this green carpet anemone as a host. The tank is 38 gallons with compact fluorescent lighting.

They are capable of stinging and semi aggressive so should be kept away from other anemones and corals. Like many anemones the green carpet makes an excellent host for most types of clownfish forming a symbiotic relationship. This is one of the larger anemone species. This species of carpet anemone can eat fish in the display aquarium so use caution when housing a carpet anemone in with fish other than clownfish.

The green carpet anemone can be found living either singularly on the reef or soft bottoms in the indo pacific region and the red sea. Percula or dascyllus trimaculatus.
