My other corals, mushrooms, zoas, leathers, and star polyps all began to look shabby. My large kenya tree went from around 8 inches tall and 5 inches across to about 2 inches all around. The star polyps all but dissappeared, and the mushroom and zoa colonies shrank. It took me a bit to even give thought to the fact that carpets put out slime that is not very good for other inverts. After removing the carpet, it now lives in a invert free setup with 8 clowns hosting it, all my corals are recovering nicely and quickly. Just felt I would share my experince for any others considering one of these beautiful creatures, but the do need their own space. TY for reading.
Thanks for sharing, would love to see this beauty.
