I have had it for a little over a month and it is doing great, eats all the time. It started off bleached but not too bad. When I got it it was probably 4", now it is probably 7". The SaddleBacks love it, I have a pair, but you can only see the female in the pic.

I'd say a S. haddoni carpet

Yes it's a Haddoni. It's also the natural host for your Saddle back clowns. To the best of my knowledge, Saddle Backs only host two species of anemone, so you did pretty good picking that one.

Yep S. haddoni.

Boy I remember when my saddlebacks were small like that. These clowns get rather big. My female is 5". She has also gotten very aggressive towards other tank mates. On several occasions she has grabbed fish with her mouth and fed them to the carpet.

I traded a pair of Ocellaris for these two. They were kept in a tank with a rather large black Saddleback, so I had an idea of how big they got. The bigger female is always chasing the little male out of the Carpet, but she never hurts him. She only lets him in when I approach the front of the tank and the yboth run scared for their life. Of course they settloe down quick and then both rush the glass thinking it's feeding time.
