Strange.. as soon as the daylights went down and the moonlights came on, the haddoni's mouth started opening very big and part of its inside was coming out.. It's very similar to this poster's concern: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2025508
I'm not too concerned with it right now though but it is strange when the daylights are on the mouth was much more closed. I'll observe over the next few days. He may have just pooped.. my rbta does that a lot at night.

Looks healthy. Keep and eye on it and don't blast it with too much flow while your acclimating it. It may expel some zoox for the first few days due to the shipping and or lighting stress. The clowns sound like they will be it's new friend in no time. Btw, how big is it?

That is the one I got since I missed yours...There was a whole thread on Facebook on how my friend and I stalked DD in order to get it... lol
Mine arrives Saturday...
I hate you for getting this one. I was trying to find it and I couldn't. I thought maybe they forgot to post it or something happened to it. I have been looking a really blue carpet for a little while now. Good luck with him.

We have a successful bonding of haddoni and tank raised clowns! They love him.
My only concern is that the haddoni might not make it... I hope it does... His mouth is open a lot more now than yesterday.. He also shrank a lil and testicles aren't as open as yesterday too.. I hope this is just shipping stress and he will slowly get stronger.

well im not sure about his testicles..
but my haddoni when i got him.. his tentacles were very open..and flowing when i first introduced him, and then as he tried to dig his foot into the sand his tentacles would tighten up... 1 month and 2 days now... his tentacles are flowing again
also.. if the clowns are hosted to it already, maybe seperate the 2? .. the clowns could help it but also stress it out a little bit more.. im not a pro so id wait to see what the experts say.

did you light acclimate him? I have AI LEDs.. I placed him in the sand and the par measurements in that area is around 100-120 tops. I assume this type of light won't be too stressful for him since its not that high? I just put a mesh on top of the tank to block out some light for the time being.
It's only been 30 mins since the mesh and his mouth is completely closed!! Love it! Hope it stays that way...

Don't feed an anemone until fully acclimated, atleast a week.

I would keep a very close eye on those clowns. It looks a bit stressed, and it doesn't look like it has "planted" its foot yet.
What lights do you have? Are you acclimating it to your lights at all?
This picture is about 3 years old, but what helps explain by what I meant with "planted"
And the underside,
