Haddoni? Not sure...

True A. sebae clowns are not in the clarkii complex. Many retailers don't know the difference between sebae and clarkii, so they are often sold under the wrong name. That is C. adhaesivum, and they do reach ~12 inches.
 
C. adhaesivum... aka pizza anemone. Nice fluorescent green one, too. I've seen them in the wild up to about 12". They are some of the most brilliantly colored, if not THE most brilliantly colored clown anemone.
 


I don't know who wrote that for LA, but they have no idea what they're talking about. They suggest A. polymnus and A. sebae clowns as symbiotic fish, but these are not known to be symbiotic with C. adhaesivum. They go on to refer to this anemone as "carpet saddle anemone". S. haddoni is the "carpet saddle anemone". Named such due to its relationship with the "saddle back anemonefish", A. polymnus. This write up is describing, at least, two different species. LA needs to have someone look at this, because C. adhaesivum is not known to reach three feet.
 
Gary and EC, that is a top seller misleading a consumer.

People wonder why our hobby comes under fire.

Pizza carpets get as big a a dinner plate maybe a little more then a foot but come nowhere near a mertens gigantea or haddoni or magnifica in size.
