Just got a purple/lavender carpet yesterday -- pretty sure that it is a haddoni, but I don't know for sure. Added it to a very established 230 gallon tank with blue haddoni that is still thriving after 13 years and several rbtas and many soft corals.
Turned off all lights (LEDs) except for one strip of blues as part of the acclimation.
Looked this morning before the lights came on and the new anemone appeared to be doing great. Once the main lights came on, the new anemone started to immediately deflate. Turned off the lights except for the single blue strip and it sprang back to live. I think it is safe to say it is being overwhelmed by the lights.
Anyone disagree? If not, how long will it take for the new specimen to accept the full lighting period? Any suggestions on helping it to acclimate? All suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
