Is that a haddoni?

Id like to get a pair of Sebae Clowns to host it if it is.

Not sure about what the natural clowns are for it, but it's labeled as a pizza anemone. It is a pizza, not a haddoni.

Labeled as a Pizza yes, but Ive been told pizza grows max 3-4 inch, while this one is about 5-6.

Does Sebea Clownfish fall under clarkii?

According to this site and a few others, they get to about 30cm or 12 inches.

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.

From what I read here they are one of the largest 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.

I agree with EC, pizza anemones don't get that large. The only natural symbiote is clarkii.

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.
