Haddoni pics one month in.

Just fed him half a shrimp earlier today, just so cool watching anemones stretch out and chill in the sand!

I really would have waited to put that anemone in that tank. The live rock does not appear to be that "aged". Of course, I could be wrong, but it just looks too new.

Yup.

Very correct, surprised no one else mentioned it. The tank is about 5 months old. Really wasn't planning on getting the Haddoni, just saw it in incredible shape and at a very good price at Petco. In my area, that's a very rare thing so I took the chance. Now the downside was, it was sold as a Gigantea.... Anyway, being healthy was my chief concern.

Now, I do perform 20% water changes weekly and make sure all my parameters are spot on. Still learning regarding proper care and flow regarding corals, finding out that some SPS are very sensitive to change. Treating the fish for parasites, caused a little bit of havoc taking out that green slimer in the front left.

Anyway, don't get algae blooms and the parameters do seem steady. So far so good.

Edit: I had to land scape the area around the Haddoni so the rocks directly behind him are bare because of it.

Nice color! Where did you get him and how much did you pay? size?

Petco, $40, and he's currently about a foot or more in diameter.
