I purchased my haddoni at about 7". Within the first year, it was around 12". By the end of the second year it was around 16", and is still about that size quite a few years later.

Do you ever see yours spawn? I just wonder what they put their excess energy into when they stop growing.

After about a six month period, where I fed the anemone almost every day, she did this. The video was taken several months ago, and I can see what appears to be eggs developing in the column of the anemone now. I'm fairly confident that if I started feeding her heavy again, she'd spawn.
Just turn the volume down and ignore the commentary of my friends in the background. LOL

I bought mine about 13 months ago at 5 inches. He currently is about 12 inches. From anecdotal accounts and experience with this one your feeding schedule is a huge factor in the rate they grow, not necessarily the size though. To grow at this rate I fed daily for the first 8 months and then slowed down to once every 3-4 days with incidental feeding from feeding the rest of the herd....

Mine is around 16 inches in diameter so I've stopped feeding completely, I'm hoping this won't be a problem for it.
