Pics of My New Haddoni

[RobSW1]

Ok these are the pics that ive promised some people.
The only problem is that his mouth is gaping a little ......I think....
He is about 5" in diameter, and he is still very sticky.

what and how often have you been feeding it?

I won't profess to know much about carpets, haven't tried them yet, I will say that the color at least looks nice, it's not bleached, and that's usually a pretty good sign.

How long have you had it?

well i just got it 3 days ago, so i havnt fed it anything yet. i wanted to let it acclimate b4 i started messing with him. I have silversides, cyclopeeze, brine, and others, so........give me some feeding suggestions. should i try to feed him already? or do i let him chill for a week before feeding?

thanks
rob

i would try too feed i use half of a silverside i place it on the tentacles closest to the mouth and it should close up on it and ingest it

Brine would do no good but soaking the silverside in cyclopeze cant hurt

i fed mine day two

i will try to feed him a little late on today. so if my water params are kept stable and i continue to feed him, there is a good chance that it will heal itself?

Thanks
Rob

well i just fed him a cut up silverside soaked in cyclopeeze, and he took it in VERY SLOWLY. im assuming this is not good, but can someone who knows a little more about anemones tell me their opinion.

thanks
rob

 

[RobSW1]

well....bad news, he just spit out the silverside after ingesting it.. what do i do now? im so worried hes not going to make it. can someone please give me some advise.

Thanks
Rob

Rob,
I went through hell with my Haddoni at first. I'll show you the pictures at the end of this post. It took my anemone a long time to adjust to everything. I didn't feed him for 2 weeks after i got him because he simply wouldn't eat. I was very scared i was going to lose him. 3 days is a short amount of time, the best remedy in your situation is patients and see how it goes for the next few days. As long as the anemone is attached then your in good shape so far. My haddoni still hasn't stopped fully moving after 4 weeks of having him. I would see how he is doing wensday of this week. If you need more help PM.

Pictures you'll notice in this pictures (the before picture when i got it) the mouth is gaping taken 1 day after i got it:

After 4 weeks: (under Power compacts at this time, now under 250w MH 12k reeflux)
