What type of Carpet Anemone is this?

[Imthatguybrandon]

I cam across a guy selling this carpet anemone for $40 bucks, want to pick it up but when I asked what type it was he said he wasn't sure. Would anyone know what type of carpet anemone this is?

The kind that will probably enjoy your fish.

Agree with this, looks like a haddoni. AquaSD has them in stock and I was just in their store yesterday and it looks the same.

Yes, haddoni. They need a deep sand bed (ideally 3" or deeper) and they do have a tendency to eat fish, especially in smaller tanks.

Agreed looks like a haddoni. I lost fish to one in my 180g but now have a blue one in a 34g and haven't had a problem. I think fast swimming darty fish and fish that startle easy are more apt to get stung or eaten.
EDIT : The color looks off on that one almost like it's bleaching. All the healthy ones I have seen are dark in color but I'm not an expert so that one may just be a color I haven't seen.

Thanks for the reply's everyone! I have 50 gallon with 3 clowns, 1 royal gramma and a
yellow watchman pistol shrimp duo with 2 BTA's. Based on what I'm hearing I don't think it would be safe or smart to put that in my tank!

Yea, I did call out the bleachy looking color and he said it was growing fine, it almost felt as if he was deflecting the question.
