I am looking for some mini carpet anemone.

If it for your 35 gallon. Probably not a good choice. They get big and will possibly move around... harming corals.

I would avoid for a small tank. There are better choices.

You could always get a bigger tank ha ha! You seem to want things that are not suitable for your system.

The mini carpets are ok for nanos, they only get 3 or 4" max. I wouldn't mine finding a couple myself they can have some really nice color.

The true mini ones do actually stay really small - though they do need the same kind of lighting as the big guys, and can be fish eaters :)

no worries :D they aren't nearly as common as the big guys, I've seen them for sale a lot more often in the states... and there was a green one getting sold a couple of times on canreef a year or two ago, I think it kept eating people's fish. It was very pretty tho.

I see them a lot on the NR forum but so far only in tanks in the US. I'd love to get some small colorful ones but you never see them around here.
