Stichodactylidae, commonly known as Carpet Anemones, are a family of sea anemones that are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their vibrant colors and symbiotic relationships with clownfish. They are known for their large, flat, and sticky tentacles that resemble a carpet. These anemones require stable water conditions and strong lighting to thrive in captivity. They can be challenging to keep due to their sensitivity to changes in water quality and their potent sting, which can harm other tank inhabitants.
