Wish Me Luck: Haddoni Recovery Thread

Thanks. The sand bed is only 2" I think. I know it too shallow. I never originally meant to have a carpet in this tank but I wasn't about to let it starve.

And the green is definitely popping now. The picture is nowhere near as brilliant.
 
It's coloring up beautifully!
Reading the first post and looking at the pictures it didn't look like it would make it (to me), but you proved me wrong!
Nice accomplishment. :)
 
Yea thanks that's kinda how I felt when I first saw it. I've never had a more tense rescue recovery. Especially since the last/first one I got was healthy looking but didn't last a month.

Well he has moved to a new location, and I really hope he stays put there, because I kinda like it. I just wanted to update this thread with some good news and cuz I'm bored. This is his new spot:

Talk about showing off!

That was pretty much it. Still eating and growing. Finally getting some tan around the mouth, indicating new zooxanthellae(I will never spell this right) repopulating but otherwise just carrying on. I'm just glad it's still alive. :) Thanks for reading.
 
Hope he recover also. Try to feed him some food with a tentacle or two of a healthy Haddoni. He may regain Zooxanthellae quicker that way

Way to call me out on my antiquated thread! And apparently revitalize it as well, lol! :)

Well it did fully recover, but never turned a dark or neon green, just stayed kinda light teal or whatever. And about 3 months later (April 2011) I sold it to another reefer friend of mine (I had no room for a Haddoni permanently, I just took it in because I couldn't watch it die). And back in November he passed it on to a friend of his. Last he heard it was doing well aside from taking out a kole tang. :rolleyes:

Here are some pics from my friend he took before breaking down his tank last month.

So this story has a happy ending! :D

Haha! Well I assumed you wouldn't have brought it up if he wasn't still around. I think it is really important for people to see what bleached anemones look like, and then to share success stories about how people get them healthy again.

Merry Christmas! :)
 
I couldn't agree more, and good assumption on your part. I often think of this nem because the one I tried before it was healthier and the tank water was cleaner, but it acted strange and ended up dead after 10 days. This one started off acting the same, but recovered when I put up the screens. It will always stick with me because the first one I lost was a $60 blue haddoni. Won't ever see that again! LOL
