Looks Haddoni to me. One way to tell for sure. Look under the oral disk and going down the foot if you see colored(usually purple) verrucae (spots) then its a gig. If there are none present its haddoni. If there brown verrucae its an Atlantic caepet and you want to avoid it at all cost as they are non hosting very agressive fish eaters. Again I think its haddoni but its not very happy and is stressed. It needs a sand bed to bury its foot in. Mouth looks good. what are they asking for it?
 
Thanks for the reply.
I will pm the shop a few questions today as the shop is in a different state.
Price is $250 which is probably way to expensive for you guys in the states but here in oz thats a fair price.

Yea wow that high. I just bought mine about a month ago and paid 79.99 for him. He's about 9". Check it out good before you buy it. Check for tears to the foot, mouth should be closed, tentacles should be more inflated than what they were in that pic and more compact. But I would say most of that is due to stress and can be easily fixed when in proper conditions. Let us know if you buy it.
 
Found out its about dinner plate size and the lfs said its a haddoni carpet.
If I purchase it, id have to have the nem freighted to me. Unable to see it in person. Different state.
Yes we pay big dollars for corals, inverts etc.
Where not allowed to import corals or inverts so the collectors and lfs can jack the prices up.
Blue, pink, red ect gigs sell for over $2000 here. Rose tip bubbles are around $400 each..
And most of our premium corals get exported.
