Giant new red/pink haddoni health question

[Johnnyg.]

Just picked up a massive red/pink haddoni two days ago shipped from Indo. It has been very responsive and has become very sticky to the touch. The mouth is still open larger than I like. Can you guys tell me if this is ok/ normal from a newly shipped carpet or should I get ready to cipro.

He seem OK for a newly shipped anemone. As long as he continue to get better, then no treatment is needed. If he deflates or looks worst, I would take him out and treat. Take picture when he is at his best and at his worst each day. You can use this to see if there is any trends. Good luck with him.

So the nem looks great other than the mouth still being open wide. It’s never has anything hanging out of it, it just gapes.

I would continue to maintain parameters as stable as possible and keep an eye on the haddoni for deflating. I think it’s fine and just adjusting.

So I’ve had the haddoni for almost a month now. Mouth is still open but appears healthy otherwise. Sticky, eats and responsive. It’s mouth is a little larger then initially. I’d hate to pull it and treat cipro and be counterproductive. Please lmk thoughts and opinions

I would leave it and give it more time. When you feed, don’t give it large pieces. Smaller is better.

I’m in the same boat with a large purple carpet. Playing the waiting game!
