Growth rate of Haddon anenome

How quickly does this species grow? I have a small one , about 3 inches. Got him about 3 weeks ago and it seems to be doing well.

How fast they grow depends on how much you feed them. You can get him from 3 inches to 12 inches in 6 month if you want. Feeding every other days will get them to grow very quickly.

Agree with Minh, food is the driving factor, with all else being equal. What color is your nem?

It's green and is looking pretty well. It has backup up to a rock and is anchored nicely to the glass below the rock. It's in about 1 1/2 inches of sand since it is quite small yet. What's the best to feed a small guy like this. I've fed it some frozen very small shrimp which it seemed to take. Had to put a net over him so my tang would not pick off all the shrimp that attached to the anenome.

That tang will learn his lesson soon enough. Haddoni like to give reminders to fish why its best to avoid them. Once that carpet gets to a good size the tang might be lunch. I believe my haddoni is the one that ate my blue sided wrasse. As evidenced by all the bones laying around him. They eat alot though. I had mine double in size pretty quickly with every other day feedings of half a prawn that smashed into smaller pieces.
