Carpet anemones are large, flat anemones from the Indo-Pacific covered in short, sticky tentacles. Red carpets are among the most striking color morphs and can host many species of clownfish. Carpets have a powerful sting and can catch and eat fish, so they're best for experienced reefers with an established tank.
