Blue Haddoni - Picture

[ReefDoberman]

So I bought this Blue Haddoni, I paid what I think is a premium for it but I haven't see one that was this blue in a long time. I'm hoping it looks just as good in person but we will see.

I wanted a blue and was going to order one from aquacon but the "blueness" of it is kind of a crap shoot.

What do you guys think of this blue?

Here's my new blue. Got it on Sunday. Apologies for the poor picture quality.

you should research about Aqua Con before send them your money.

Care and health count a lot in term of how nice an anemone look.
Here is the same anemone when I first got him and currently several years later.

OrioN that is quite a before and after! I didn't order this from Aquacon, it came from Pacific East Aquaculture which is only a few hours away so the short distance helps shipping.

I posted the picture because I haven't seen many "neon" blue and was hoping for feedback from the group. I know care can influence color quite a bit but not all can color up the way yours did. A lot of the blues are really a blue/green body with very blue tips and a blue upper/outer rim.

dude, not to be rude but please focus on the CON　part and forget about the AQUA part of AQUACON

like CONedison, there's no edison but just CON left

I appreciate the feedback but I didn't post this to discuss the vendor. Just blue haddoni carpets. Like I said, I did not order this from them, it came from another vendor. I know they get bad feedback. That wasn't the point.

I am wondering how often folks see this neon blue tips on blue body coloration.

That anemone looks nice. I am sure he will look a lot better once you take good care of him and provide bright light for him. Haddoni stay around the tidal zone so they can take a lot of light. IME more light result in much better color. I have never over light a Haddoni or Gigantea and I have a lot of light

I am quite fond of that blue Haddoni. He may not the most expensive animal I got but he is one of the best looking animal in my tank

I saw that anemone before you bought him. I would say you pay premium price for him

Looks beautiful to me.

Keep us posted, hopefully it does well.

wow on the Aquascam website they are selling medium RBTAs for $120.00? I can get them all day long at my LFS for under $75.00 with no shipping cost.

Did you pull the trigger? Love to see pics when it comes in.

Awesome pic! Is that a purple haddoni too? Man, that blue is a real beauty, they both/all 3 are.

That's a very nice blue, I hope it's really neon blue for you. Good luck!:thumbsup:

Worst part is, they'll probably send you a majano, I wish I were joking. Also if it comes DOA/wrong animal, which the likelihood is really high, good luck getting a refund or another animal shipped.
