Mini-Maxi Carpet Anemone: A Kaleidoscope for Your Reef!

Bring vibrant life to your marine aquarium with the captivating Mini-Maxi Carpet Anemone. Its stunning colours and unique texture offer an unparalleled visual appeal, perfect for dedicated reef enthusiasts.

Overview

The Mini-Maxi Carpet Anemone (*Stichodactyla tapetum*) is a compact yet striking addition to any reef system, known for its oral disc covered in clusters of bump-like tentacles. These fascinating invertebrates display an incredible array of colours, including greens, browns, reds, purples, and oranges. They typically anchor their delicate foot to the substrate but can slowly relocate within your aquarium to find optimal lighting and flow, adding a dynamic element to your aquascape.

Care Level

Considered easy to moderate to care for, the Mini-Maxi Carpet Anemone is suitable for both beginners and advanced aquarists. It possesses a potent sting, so careful placement and handling are crucial to protect tank mates and yourself. While generally semi-aggressive, it coexists well with anemone crabs and shrimp, though it’s not a known host for clownfish.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres is recommended to provide stable water conditions for your Mini-Maxi Carpet Anemone. They thrive with strong lighting and moderate water flow, and require a sand bed and ample live rock for attachment. Maintain water parameters within a pH range of 8.1–8.4 and a temperature of 24–28°C.

Diet

Though photosynthetic, the Mini-Maxi Carpet Anemone benefits greatly from regular supplemental feedings. Offer small, meaty foods such as finely chopped fresh fish, uncooked shrimp, Mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp at least once daily to ensure its health and vibrant coloration.
