Alright, well I picked up a Carpet about a week ago. I was nervous as I have read horror stories. I watched everything carefully and nobody had any problems. Everyone knew to stay clear, and didn't come within a couple inches.
Sunday, I picked up a pair of Anthias. As I introduced them to the tank, I noticed that they could care less about the carpet, and I was watching, I had my scraper down in the tank to discourage them from touching the anemone. Well, they both did, but neither were caught, just a quick sting and they swam away.
So I pulled the carpet, and put in my sump. Since sunday the Anthias have been feeding and acting great. Always in the open, no signs of stress.
Wake up today, and they are both dead.
Could a sting from the carpet be the culprit?
