liveaquaria carpet anemone

[NYCBOB]

has anyone bought one from them? thinking of ordering one a haddoni and gig. thanks for any reviews.

I got 2 gigs from them - both needed treatment, one made it, the other not.
The survivor has made it now for almost 2 years but is slowly shrinking away. Though that may be rather caused by the clownfish and regal angel than disease or other influences as the larger purple gigs do fine there.

I ordered an Haddoni from Live Aquaria and it has been very healthy. No deflation , tight mouth, sticky as can be , attached immediately. Beautiful. I got one previous to that from Bluezoo or something like that.. Thing was dead on arrival and inside out. Nicely they did give me a credit. Love the new one from LA... eats great too. I have had great luck with LA.

In general, haddoni ship a lot better than gigantea. So, whether you get your carpets from Live Aquaria or not, haddoni will always have a higher rate of survival. You'll pay a premium with LA, but you also have the arrive alive guarantee.

received the haddoni today. very sticky. will give it a few days to see how it adjusts.

That totally makes sense, actually. A. frenatus' natural host anemone is the BTA. If given the natural host, most clowns will ignore the other anemone. If you were to remove the BTA, then the clowns may move to the haddoni, but there's no guarantee.
