Stichodactyla tapetum – Luminous and Symbiotic Carpet Anemone

Stichodactyla tapetum, known as the carpet anemone, is a magnificent reef anemone from the family Stichodactylidae. Highly sought after for its disc-shaped form covered with short and colorful tentacles, it forms a true living carpet on the substrate of the marine aquarium.

A Refuge for Clownfish and Shrimp

This anemone is particularly favored by Amphiprion such as Amphiprion clarkii, polymnus, perideraion, or chrysogaster, as well as small symbiotic shrimps like Thor or Periclimenes. It develops a symbiotic relationship with these species, offering them protection and shelter within its stinging tentacles.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Minimum recommended volume: 100 liters
  • Lighting: medium to strong (spectrum between 14,000 and 20,000 K)
  • Water flow: medium to strong
  • Attachment: sandy substrate to anchor its foot
  • Aggressiveness: high (should not be placed too close to other soft or LPS corals)

Recommended Parameters

  • Nitrates (NO3-): >10 mg/l
  • Phosphates (PO4): between 0.01 and 0.05 mg/l
  • Calcium: between 400 and 440 mg/l
  • Magnesium: between 1250 and 1350 mg/l
  • KH: 7.5 to 9 °dKH

Feeding and Maintenance

The Stichodactyla tapetum can be fed every 2 days with small prey such as rotifers or brine shrimp nauplii (<0.5 cm). Proper feeding enhances its colors and longevity. Propagation is difficult, if not impossible, with this species, so it is important to choose a suitable permanent location.

Why Choose Stichodactyla tapetum?

  • Highly colorful and aesthetic anemone
  • Natural symbiosis with clownfish and shrimp
  • Easy to maintain with appropriate lighting
  • Contributes to the biological diversity of a reef aquarium
  • Stable ground attachment thanks to its strong foot

Stichodactyla tapetum is an ideal anemone for any reef aquarist wishing to observe the magic of symbiotic relationships. It adapts well to mature, well-lit, and properly circulated tanks, and adds a spectacular touch to the aquarium floor.
