[sinned]

Hello-
This is the most beautiful anemone I have ever seen....and it's up
for auction on ebay....if only I had a bigger tank. Thanks Dennis

wow

saw that too... considered it but i know i would basically have to setup a 29 or larger as a tank just for it (no way id put fish in with a 10" haddoni)

Wasn't someone looking for a haddoni to keep onyx juvies in? To see if they'd develop their black more consistently?

I can't find it on ebay.

That is sad that the seller ended the auction early cause the anemone was lost. What a pretty animal.

Maybe it's just me, but I see a pretty common green S. haddoni under a blue light. Here is what it would look like with a little more sunlight spectrum:

By the way, I did not change the color of the anemone at all - all I did was add more yellow and red to the entire picture.

EDIT - I do not want this post to sound negative. I think ANY healthy anemone looks beautiful. I just don't think this particular anemone is that uncommon. Buying aquarium critters online is especially troublesome when they are under blue spectrum lighting. How many blue/purple zoos have you seen that were really brown but photoed under 20K lighting?

Take a close look at the mouth in the pic. For my own information, does that look healthy?

Sounds like it died before the end of the auction

Very clever Bonsai, that's why I never buy anything in a photo that's under 20K or actinics.
