Check out the rainbow carpet anemone that my LFS has in stock. I’m 99% sure it’s a Haddoni but since there was one rainbow gigantea I want to see it in person to confirm the species.

It's at Aquatic Collection in Hayward, CA. At this point, it's safe to say that they're one of the premiere anemone dealers in the country. I get all of my anemones from them.

I'm heading over tomorrow to take a look and hopefully snap more photos. It's currently in treatment, and if it makes it, it's sold. The price was undisclosed.

Are you the buyer? I did some successful sleuthing when you first posted and gave them a call. So I'm second on the list if the original buyer backs out, but it's really quite pricey.

Either way, please take some more pics.

My Red Haddoni show multi-color at times, when he is NOT doing great.

lol, it's 6am in California. Although I share your impatience

And curious to hear more about it and why you think this, I feel like if multicolor were a symptom of poor health then we would see them a whole lot more often.

I can confirm that the anemone is a haddoni (no colored verrucae and the tentacle length and shape is indicative of haddoni). Look at the multicolored tentacles!

The mouth was a bit open and it was expelling dead zooxanthellae, but I think it'll recover so long as treatment continues. It was fully inflated and I could see moving tentacles.

Sorry for the bad photos. The tank was turned sideways on a shelf and the pump and heater were in the front so access was difficult.

Once fully acclimated, it's definitely going to be a centerpiece anemone. The color was stunning, especially for one undergoing treatment. It was under a light with only white and a few blue LEDs, so once under a better light, it should brighten up even more. I expect it to be over 24" when it's in its new home. Speaking of which, I was told it was sold to a local buyer, which is ideal for the anemone because it doesn't need to be shipped.
