I'm sure they will hoast wright away just be careful cause I had a female that got pretty big like almost 5" and she ripped my red haddoni by loving it too much.

Keep an eye out from inflating/deflating and an open mouth --- in case you have to treat it.

Hey @Trex , you obviously know a lot about anemones, so how do you treat it? Is this treatment as in medication or something like that or does treat it mean "actively care more for it"?

Thanks Will keep an eye on clowns just starting to show interest hope I don't have to treat as have no quarantine tank and not sure what to use

Same here Croix, no idea what to treat with or what to do to treat; all I do is make sure their new house is clean and that they have good food to eat with good lighting... hmm.

Sorry for the late reply;

Here is a good thread on the subject --- https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-i-cipro.211822/

I personally haven't treated any S. haddoni. The last infected one (( a purple S. haddoni )) that I had was before the cause/treatment was known. Ended up losing the purple one, a red one, and tan one that I had had for 12+ years.

I know they use Cipro. You can look up different forums on the web. Lots of tips. I had no idea!

Wetweb has a good article on these. Pretty specialized habitat needed. They can get huge. Local LFS has one that is about 30 inches in diameter.

Wow, nice!

croix67 · Dec 22, 2016

Just want to why it's looking so flat and not like first pics I posted

Trex · Dec 23, 2016

How deep is the sandbed where it is correctly located? Is its foot attached to that rock, or in the sand?

I agree, it does look a bit "flat"

croix67 · Dec 23, 2016

It's foot is on bottom on the tank and sand bed is only 2 inches deep was told to try and put it in deep yogurt pot then place on sand but foot is on tank floor think it could have been hungry fed it and seems to expanded
