Haddoni or Gigantea?? Local shop has this carpet for 125. It is the size of a softball. I just have this picture unfortunately. I do not have pictures of the column. It’s been in the shop for a bout a week. Looks healthy. Mouth nice and tight.

what does everyone think?

I’d guess gigantea too. If you’re interested, pick it up and treat with Cipro. Though the mouth is closed it looks like it needs treatment.

The shape of the tentacles indicated Gigantea. However, the picture is definitely not optimal for ID. I don't think the color in that picture is accurate, under white, natural light either so be-careful on judging that anemone by the color in that photo.
I do think 125 is cheap for that anemone, regardless of the species, Haddoni or Gigantea, and even if the color is not as bright as show in the picture.

Just incase you were wanting a blue gigantea, they are actually brown with blue tentacle tips. So they are not represented accurately in that picture as Orion said.
