    ok so i have an electric green carpet anemone, um its like a pale green color, sometimes its gets to a real electric striking green, um i add iodine, and am going to start adding trace elements, i dont directly feed it, there are 2 black saddleback clowns in there that do most of that i supose, i want it to be bright green, everyday, is there something i can feed it to make it this way?

    This is an advanced specimen. Requires alot of stuff. I'd start asking alot of questions. I don't like anemones because of the stress involved with them. So, specific questions I can't help with. Feeding, tank size, parameters, mortality rate are all serious issues that need attention. Coral Reefer is knowledgable with carpets(and a whole lot of other stuff).
