Carpet anemone

[d9sccr]

I have a few questions...I saw a carpet anemone at my LFS and was wondering how I could be sure that it was a S. Haddoni. Also, will my black false percs host in it?

Can someone please reply..this is really important...I've read that the false percs don't often pair w/ the Haddoni, I was just wondering if it has happened to anyone

Some have hosted haddoni's but often times they end up getting eaten. FWIW, I would pass up in a Haddoni. Not to be rude, but since your not even sure what a Haddoni looks like, I would do some quick research about the different anemones out there and what types of clownfish host them. It doesn't hurt to learn.

Here is a great website about anemones:

Here is also a great identification thread for anemones that I constucted:

BTW, I hope you were not planning on putting that Haddoni in your 12 gallon. Haddoni's can get over 2 feet in diameter.

I had heard that you have to look underneath around the foot for "bumps" to determine which is which. I didn't think that my clowns would host in it, I was just hoping to hear about cases in which it had happened. I was told that if that anemone is that main focus of my tank that it would be okay...guess it doesn't matter anyway..thanks for the reply...I really appreciate it...

12 aquapod and carpet equals death to tank i would say

 

[d9sccr]

death to tank?

No the anemone. The small bumps are called verrucae. Did you read the thread I made? It would help.
