housing multiple s. haddoni ?

[alpinestar]

Can the be kept in same tank or same part of tank with out issue or do they need to be kept strickly single. Reason I ask is I have multiple purple blue and metallic green coming and just checking if they are like other anenomes

Good news: yes they can be kept together without issue
Bad news: acclimation. There is a fair amount of anecdotal evidence that a sick haddoni can wipe out a tank of healthy ones.

I've read that these are all coming same time

Other question is par lighting required I'm at 190-230 in last few inches of sand bed

I would QT them separately, one "bad" one could easily take the others out. It will be a PITA, but well worth it. I lost both a red S. haddoni, and a 12+ year old tan one from an infected (( newly arrived )) purple one.

That par is fine. Mine is happy on the sand and I have that par range.

OK thanks it ended up being a blue gigantea a purple gigantea and two green haddoni. Purple cashed out during shipment and disentegrated by the next night. Was sad he was grape ape purple. Blue seems OK but hasn't really fully attached yet and I haven't tried feeding it yet. The one green haddoni is already eating silversides like candy
