It is so thin now, and stretches to the size of a pizza! I feed it once a week and it hosts two white stripe maroons who also give it pieces of food at feeding time.

Does it look healthy?

Nice recovery.
When you got it, It was unhealthy or stressed probably due to shipping. The mouth was gaping and not expanding fully.
Now the mouth is tight and fully expand. Very nice!

Thank you this is me,
I thought the way it stretched out so much meant it was needing something...like more light. But it is almost directly under a 10k 250w MH.

It has been in that spot for a couple of months now...so it must like it there.

carpets have been noted to get up to 18-24 inches in diameter. As stated before the anemone you first had was stressed and not doing to well indicated by its mouth hanging to so far open. You must be doing something correct as they usually don't survive when they get like that. It looks great...

All of my Haddonis (( have 3 of them, the oldest with me for 9 years )) look similar to yours when full opened up. Yours is looking good.

Thanks very much millerp and Toddrtrex,
It's good to know it's doing good, it never refuses a meal:lol:

But over the last year, it has consumed 2 peppermint and 1 cleaner shrimp....they dared to go where they should have


Thanks again,
Paul
