Carpet ID

[robertusnemo]

Hi guys,

I've been looking for a haddoini carpet for a while. What do you think of this one? Is it a haddoni?

Another pic:

The reason I'm checking is that I feel it looks a lot like a Stichodactyla helianthus.

Thanks!

No one? I hope it's an Haddoni but this older picture makes me unsure.

It's on the rocks (Mertensii?Helianthus?) and the shape looks like a helianthus, right?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

does it have dots on the underside of the disc? if so, helianthus.

from these pictures, it looks like s. haddoni to me.

It could possibly a mertensii. We’ll need to see the column for a positive ID.

Thanks! I will ask for another picture to see it's verrucae.

That's what I thought too. Since it's perched on the rock like that. I really hope it's either a mertensii or a haddoni.

It is not a helianthus, which have pointed tentacles. Looks like a Haddoni to me, but a column picture is needed

Thanks! Ill pick it up next week, So i'll take some pics. Only thing that still weird for me is that he's not in the sand.

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot. I got him yesterday and he looks way better in person, especially the color. Very sticky and way more folded than I thought. No visible verrucae so I guess it's a Haddoni!

This is 10 minutes after I put him in the tank:

And this was after the first night, the sexy shrimp found it within half an hour:
