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.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

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 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.
