New nem - Haddoni?

[lclark209]

Just picked up this nem and pair of clowns for free from a fellow reefer that was starting his tank over - it was overrun with aiptasia

I'm pretty sure it's Haddoni but just want to be 100%. I plan on this tank being anemone only and he's the first in. Tank is about 4 months old...A little early, I know, but is not my first reef or nem so I'm pretty sure it will thrive in my tank.

Acclimating in the bucket.



Next are after a few hours in the tank. Mouth is nice and tight and it seems to have anchored to the bottom of the tank.

I checked the foot after removing it from the original tank which is the only time I looked at the underside. I believe it was solid tan but I'll check it tomorrow to be sure. Main reason I'm checking with you guys (the experts) is the tentacles look longer than most haddoni I've seen.

I was surprised it looked so good when I went to pick it up. The picture posted on cl looked a bit bleached.

Looks like Haddoni. Has it buried its foot in the sand?

 

[lclark209]

Looks to be either in the sand or attached to the base of the rock right next to the sand. I'm trying to just leave it be and let it do it's thing.

Here's the best shot I could get of the underside through the rocks.



And zoomed in pic of the tentacles.



Sorry for the not so great cell phone pictures.

Very nice, congrats. good nice when your carpet attach it's foot to the sand. I love anemones especially a haddoni. Makes me want to setup a reef tank again.

Just thought I'd share a quick update after a week.
