Do you know who might have them? Thanks for the tip.
elegance coral
They call me EC
The color is incredible on that anemone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I wouldn't add any clowns until the anemone has recovered from shipping stress, and fully settles into its new home.
Polymnus is a great species. IME, they're not as aggressive as other large clowns. They can be timed though. When frightened, they often hide inside the mouth of their host. This can be stressful on the host, and not something you want your anemone to deal with right now.

Thanks, EC, appreciate the compliment. How long do you anticipate before the carpet is ready for clowns. I agree with you, though, the nem is still adjusting. I almost freaked last night when I went by the tank and it had closed up pretty tight. But this morning, she is open again. But she has been doing things with her mouth, so I guess this is the settle in process. When I had my gigantea, she didn't do that. Do you happen to know who carries those clowns? Also, what do you think about pink skunk clowns? Which would be better. Blue's Zoo has some really neat clowns, kind of black, orange and yellow, but do not know if suitable for a haddoni. Also, I have tried to give her a little big of mysis and silversides last night. I have had her since Friday am. But she isn't interested. Doesn't even want to hold it. As far as that goes, my peppermint shrimp has been on her, and it doesn't try to do anything. Is this all bc she is still new?
