My new Green Haddoni

[OrionN]

Before Christmas, I traded 20 Xenia start for a small Haddoni. Apparently this Haddoni have been at the wholesaler for a while (The LFS know that there is a small green Haddoni at the wholesaler so she ordered it for me). I asked them to delay shipping until after Christmas.
Anyway, it arrived to the LFS Thursday and wnt in to look at it. I was told that it was fully inflated all day Friday, but after work when I came it it was fully deflated and gaping open mouth. I did not have a camera with me so I did not take the picture. Since this is mine, dead or alive, I took it home to try to treat it. I have a hospital tank already, but not fill with water.
I put him in the hospital tank and added 250 mg Cipro/10 gal of water. I have to go out of town and this morning I came back and check on the anemone. Here are some pictures from this AM. I did a 5 g water change but did not add any antibiotic. I will not treat him further unless he start to deflate again. Did her needed treatment? I don know but I was not going to loose him if I can do anything about it. . If he does well for the next few days I will tank him out of treatment tank.

He is somewhat yellow right now due to been a little bleached. His tentacles are also a little short but seem OK otherwise at this time. Hope he will turn bright green with good light and condition. He is very small. I was told he was about 4 inches but in the treatment tank, he measured about 5-6 inches.

Here are the pictures

Nice pickup. Glad you administer the meds when you did looks like it is doing much better.

Thanks to you my bleached gig is doing a whole lot better. I had to search amongst friends for that med because I wasn't planning to go into the clinic. This med does work. I only did a three day treatment. Wish I would of known about the meds when I had my blue gig a few months ago. I could of saved it.

Thanks Nemo and Daniel.
Update picture today still in the treatment tank. No antibiotic since Friday. I have not seen him deflated yet after the antibiotic treatment dose on Friday.

Minh, that is yellow! And I love it...

Rapide,
IME, Yellow Haddoni are green ones that bleached. Brighter the yellow, brighter the green when it finally get healthy. I am hopeing that my greeniish yellow carpet will turn bright green. I am happy with the color but know that it will not stay this color. I think I really be happy when it finally gain full healthy and full color back.

What did you treat it for and what is Cipro? I haven't ever heard of treating an anemone.

There is a thread I started of antibiotic treatment. I see if I can find the link. You can read and comment on that thread. Linked below:

Beautiful anemone indeed!

 

[OrionN]

Got him all settle and into my DT. It is only a Aquapod 24 with another Haddoni in it, my Blue Haddoni. Here is a picture from today. Both was under direct full sun plus 150 W DE MH 10,000K. In person, it look a lot brighter, more like my last picture above. I love the red lip of this anemone. I have not clean the front gladd in months so sorry for the dirty glass.

Lovely anemones. I think those two colors look great together. Do you have clowns for them?

 

[OrionN]

Thanks everybody.

Lovely anemones. I think those two colors look great together. Do you have clowns for them?

Not at this time. I use to have a wild caught Onyx in this tank but I sold that pair. Maybe I am going to put some of my babies in here in the future.

How's the new anemone doing?

 

[velvetelvis]

How many tanks do you have, Minh? Your house must be like a public aquarium (not that anyone here would complain!).

 

[OrionN]

E.intheC,
He is doign very well. Not ime to really try to get picture for update.

velvetelvis,
My wife complains. she would like for some of the system to be gone. I have 7 aquarriums but 4 of which in two systems, not counting the quarantine and the fry tanks and the rotifer tanks

 

[Pinkskunk]

7 tanks to take care of, no time to just sit back, relax and actually enjoy the tank?

i used to have 3 systems, but then one day i realized i spend more time doing this and that between them and decided to take 2 down and keep the main display. eversince i have more time to actually enjoy everything and admire them more.
