That's weird...I'm wondering if putting one in a different tank would change things. If you have a buddy with a tank maybe place one in there and see what happens.

+1 mine is under the same lighting and has been in a few places in the tank and never lost any colour.

Thanks for sharing that Chowder.
More people post about problems, the better we can understand them.

I will have to go check them out then. Thanks.
$40 I can afford...if they have any nicely colored ones left, that is.

How can you have them all bleaching? do you have any trace of copper or something maybe in your water? What is your salinity and how are you testing it?

They do move and quite a bit if the light is not suitable for them.

A video of my maxi mini and the porcelaine crab feeding. It's so cute to see them together:

That's interesting. I thought maybe mine had bleached because I had added NP pellets to the tank a few weeks before, but now that casts doubt on that it having anything to do with the pellets.

Mine, after about 8 months in my tank, went from looking like the first one pictured by jorjef at the top of page 6, to looking like the first one pictured by jorjef at the bottom of page 6. This happened in a space of about 2 weeks. It eats fine and does not move from its spot. I will try to post some before/after pictures later when I get chance.

Jorjef are those the same anemones? You say some of them are new so I'm not sure if that one in particular is new as well.

I just got one of these last night!! Very cool, but the kids think it looks like a mushroom...noticed it had spread out a bit and moved this morning, is red with green tips. Got it for my clowns, but I guess they won't host these??? Still pretty cool! Didn't realize they had such a following!!

There are two groups of pictures, one set has five carpets and the second has two pics. with a total of four carpets. The four are the newest ones I've picked up. I have nine in total. All have either the original color some have intensified, the brown one was shipped to meet sight unseen and arrived that color
