questions about Haddoni

[NanoReefWanabe]

i almost bought a baby green one today...but i resisted the impulse and held off so i could ask some questions..

what is the survival rate of small haddoni's this one was about 3" across total..and was a light olive green colour...
is there anything to look for on these small nems...?
is 50 bucks a decent price for this sized nem?

also i cant seem to find the link / page that lists, nems and the clowns they will host...i have a pair of ocellaris that i would love to find a home for...

i would really like a nem that stays on the sand or there about in the tank as i have far to many SPS in the tank...

thanx in advance guys..thank god it wasn't a blue carpet...i would have bought it anyway before asking the questions..

A haddoni is a natural host for;
Host Clowns: Barrier Reef, Bluestripe, Clark's, Mauritian, Oman, Saddleback, and Sebae.

I personally have a pair of pink skunks in one, and a pair of clarkiis in another.

The smallest one I have ever gotten was about 5" across, been 3 weeks now, and so far so good. From my readings, the recent patch of green haddonis that came in didn't fair so well. They seemed to be fine for a couple of weeks, and then go down hill after that.

As for what to look for -- attached, tight closed mouth, and very very sticky. That seems like a decent price, assuming it is healthy. If fed a lot they can/will grow very fast.

And as a teaser....
