Careful with Your Haddoni Anenomes!!!

[Sohal Tang Tim]

Little story to share with you.... Couple years ago I purchased a tremendously gorgeous red Haddoni... it was about mmmmm 6 inches wide at the most......

after about a week in my tank.....I purchased a large 8 inch or better gorgeous blue chin triggerfish.... it had the nicest colouring I have ever
seen on a blue chin trigger! Gorgeous showpiece quality fish.......

I put the trigger in the tank at approx 11pm at night when lights were
completely off......

I walked over to my desk and about total of 2 or 3 minutes max of me putting
that fish in the completely dark tank...I heard a SPLASH from my desk.....

I jumped up...went over to the tank...and there was this huge trigger stuck
in this fairly small anenome.... I quickly removed the fish from the anenome
and it swam away stunned as heck.......

Next day the trigger died with sting marks all over it!!! I was very, very
surprised and sad...I just could nottttt believe that little animal killed such a large fish.

So...anyone with a Haddoni ...be aware...those little gorgeous animals can
kill a fairly large aquarium fish.

Hope this helps someone out there somehow.

Yes, S. Haddoni is very notorious for eating/killing fish. I use to have a blue haddoni and it consumed approximately 7 fish and two shrimp. When you buy this anemone, you're sacraficing it's beauty for the potential possibility of it eating fish in your tank.

well fed not enough!

well fed not enough!

My Haddoni was very well fed....made no difference....

It did not EAT the large Trigger.... it just stung it to death and death
occured about 12 hours later.


They are gorgeous but...ya...they are risky for sure for loss of fish....

Good luck John Wayne... did you see the Shootist?

Brooks! when you die...what I do on your grave ...won't pass for flowers!
hehe

Ya well fed means nothing. It will still sting the crap out of whatever enters it.
