I don't know if I posted mine in this thread, but here is mine. Had it for like 5 years, but died when I stupidly introduced a sick green carpet =(
Far right (back in like 99 or something)...
In the dorm room nano...
With the black ocellaris...
Justin, we think alike
Beautiful!!! Did you pick that baby up from Atlantis?

Here's mine. I bought it bleached but it will probably turn green in a couple of months or so.

My thoughts also from what I can see of the tentacle structure and the fact that it's on the rockwork.

FWIW, I had a green haddoni that looked *exactly* like bergzy's. When I bought it, it was perhaps 6" to 8" diameter, and for the first year or so it prefered to stay on the rockwork. As it grew larger and older, it changed its preference from rockwork down towards the rock/sand interface. This is consistent with what I've read somewhere that juvenile haddoni's prefer rock attachment whereas mature adults are dwellers near the rock/sand interface (sorry don't have an URL or article I can reference, it's just something I remember reading years ago -- it may have been one of Shimek's articles though).
I wouldn't rule out mertensii and certainly I would not really argue with you Austin THAT adamantly because you have more experience with mertensii's, but based on that one picture alone I would not rule out "juvenile haddoni" at this point.
Wager on!
PS. Either way it is a beautiful carpet.
PPS. I know that the carpet I'm talking about was pictured at one point earlier on in this thread. Unfortunately not posted by me as it was posted by AJ_77 whom I had sold the carpet to when it had outgrown the tank I had for it. I'm going to go look and see if it's still showing up (hopefully the picture hasn't disappeared, this is going back something like 4 years now!)
(Edit/"PPPS": ah bummer it's gone.
Only picture of it in this thread is in AJ_77's avatar, in the post on page 2. Oh well, life goes on I guess..)

Eh, we will see. It's very possible that i am wrong and this is a haddoni. Especially considering he has only had it a few months and it started out at 4 inches. Maybe its the topdown shot thats screaming merten's at me, but my instinct is telling me thats what it is. I'm curious to see what the underside looks like.

Now, since i have completely gone off topic from this thread. I will see if i can Contribute to this thread again.
Unfortunetly with this haddoni i can not capture the right colors with my camera. It is darkish redbrown, with green and white spots all over it. Its beautiful and about 20 inches across. Here is the pic, like i said, it doesnt capture any of the colors of it.
