Well…. I just couldn’t pass on this little beautiful anemone any longer. After pondering over it for weeks and seeing as it was looking very healthy at the big box store, I finally made the decision to buy my first carpet anemone.

The store had it labeled as Stichodactyla gigantea but I am convinced it is a Stichodactyla haddoni. Am I correct?

I attempted to purchase some cipro in advance but I just could not facilitate any veterinary help in obtaining some, so based on the fact that the mouth is so nicely closed and the store had it for over a month, I chose to move forward with the purchase since the nem looked this good with them, I felt that I would stand a greater chance of success.

It will be housed alone as a species only tank. I plan on only adding a pair of clownfish and some trochus and hermits.

Yes it is haddoni, looks good for being new to your tank.

What species of clowns you thinking about?

I’ve always been partial to ocellaris. I have Dominoes, Super Snow Storm, Naked and Black Storms but I know the haddoni is not a natural host anemone for them.
I’ve never been a fan of Clarkii or Saddlebacks but I’m certainly open to suggestions
 
Orange skunks, onyx picasso, orange storms or sunkist pink skunks would looks nice, although not haddoni not natural host for them either. I myself like black storms and black snowflakes
