Baby haddoni - Is it possible??

[taylor t]

I just gave my haddoni to my uncle a couple hours ago, and found this snail shell under one of the folds of the haddoni. It's not really, is it? It's the size of an eraser. I've got strange things, but I've never seen one like this before.

Whoa! Have you fed it yet? Put a piece of mysis on it!

No, it's not a baby haddoni, but it is a small hitchhiker anemone. I have one too. They are very sticky and in time can grow moderately large. The column on mine is maybe 2 1/2 inches long and an inch in diameter. I occasionally feed mine small pieces of food which it eagerly accepts.

Thanks Gary. I didn't think it was possible.

S. haddoni can reproduce by "budding" or pedal laceration so it's possible to have a "baby"- it's just that your little anemone isn't a haddoni

Sorry, but there is no way to take a pic. It is located on the underside of a piece of liverock and doesn't face the glass at all. I don't want to move the liverock just to take a pic. It looks like a larger version of the one that taylor posted.
