Yup... Lumenarc 250w MH...Mouth isn't as closed as it was last night, but it doesn't look stressed either... I guess its foot isn't completely planted though...
Is the foot attached through the sand onto the bottom?
My new blue S. Haddoni!!!!

that carpet looks awesome!!!! i hope you will have great luck with it for a long time
It looks like only partially... I tried to get the best pic I could with my phone... I'll get better pics this weekend with my DSLR... I haven't touched it since putting it in there and I can't see the bottom of the tank because of the stand, so I don't know for sure...

it could be just doing a water change/acclimating to your tank water still...
for the first week.. my haddoni did a cycle of inflating/deflating with its mouth closed a few times.. but had its Siphonglyphs? (i think thats what they are called) showing but mouth was still tightly closed, idk just pay close attention to it.

Cool.. What does it mean when an anemone cycles deflate/inflate? Is it changing out the water in its body?

well im no expert, as ive only had mine a little over a month, butttt, thats what i was under the impression of (any expert please correct me..) when its siphonglyphs (again dunno if thats what they are called) are showing, it was just doing a waterchange/acclimating to the water as long as its mouth was still closed..
going on 6 weeks with mine, and it hasnt deflated in probably 3 or 4 weeks, and looks as happy as can be... but that first week i def stressed cause i thought it was a goner few times when it deflated, but my friend re-assured me thousands of times its just acclimating..

I would still keep a close eye on it -- the reason it is going through this cycle (( inflate/deflate )) it is purge something from inside -- most likely some sort of an infection that seems to be common with shipped Haddonis. I would still keep up with the water changes and running fresh carbon.
It doesn't mean it is going downhill, but it isn't normal either. The one that I received a week ago today has yet to deflate, and its mouth has been tightly closed the whole time. I don't think that I have been doing anything different then you, it just so happens that the one I received shipped better -- for what reason I have no idea.

Thanks for the input guys! I think he deflated because I did the water change that day. I'm following Todd's recommendation to do the wc's. I think he flushed out the old water and put in the new water. This morning when I woke up he was bigger than ever and the lights weren't on yet.
I'm definitely learning a lot about haddoni behavior!

My came around 10AM PST. It was picked up from RHINELANDER, WI at 5PM and arrived at INDIANAPOLIS, IN at 2AM. The next stop was San Diego at 10AM.
I would agree on that.

Do you have a pic of the siphonglphs? hmm I think i know what you're talking about tho..
This one was on DD today.. mouth looks open tho but still looks good.. does the mouth need to be closed to be considered healthy?

The little white thing is the siphonglphs i beleive, or what i was informed. resembles a tooth look to me (again any expert correct me if im wrong)
this is a pic of mine like the 2nd night after being in my tank
i had ti many times though where its mouth was 100% shut, and 1 of those things would be like pokin out.. and i was under the impression that, those help cycle the water in/out? (correct me if im wrong)

That mouth is a bit more open then I would like, though I wouldn't say that it is unhealthy. When any of mine have been completely healthy, settled in the mouth has been tightly closed --- sometimes to the point of not being able to see it.
This is back when I still had my blue one, and the sunlight was hitting it,
This is as open as mine red one's (( back when I had it )) mouth would get,
Lastly, can see my green one's mouth -- just underneath the crab.
