Since I started with sps, I've given up on carpets. Too concerned about them moving. But I love them. Nothing cooler than seeing one hosted by clown fish. I did just pick up a "mini" carpet ( don't even know what species that would be). I'll get a pic up soon.

Anybody have some carpet anemone pictures to share

I have one each in my 180 SPS tank and my 30 gal zoas/lps tank. The key in preventing them from moving is flow and light. They seem to like low flow and moderate lighting. Give them a nice big rock to anchor to and strategically place several rocks around to sort-of "cornered" them in. Mine rarely move in the past 2 years.

I had a green Haddoni but got rid of it because it ate the Yellow Tang, the Cleaner Wrasse, and the SAILFIN TANG not all on the same day though! Lol Now I have a Gigantea x Haddoni hybrid carpet anemone.
