Haddoni. Don't doubt... go for it. It's fun!

[World Citizen]

My first red Haddoni is working out great. She has found her place somewhere nice between the rocks and is living it's live in comfort.


Sooo..... why not buy a second one. What can go wrong.
(some salt residu left from me fighting with the Haddoni to get it down at the bottom.... didn't work)

But i am happy.. look at those colors!

Yeah fun until it decides to take a route to its favorite flow area. And believe me, they pay no attention to tolls, coral cost, or aqua scape…

But I’m sure you knew the risk before hand… I’ve owned a few, carpets wander too much for me…. Might just be my sample experience…

Hope yours settles down …wishing good luck
Added: where is the first carpet?

Yeah.. I don't think it's the most smart and easy thing to do.. but I would love to have 4 haddoni's in my tank. It's not always fun, and the red one has killed a frag or 2.

I wouldn't advise anyone to buy these due to them walking arround. I don't find them hard to keep but the walking part is a serious problem.

I can't put them together in 1 shot, but this is my red one.

I don’t want to derail this but I’d like to share this.

I had a carpet nem in a large tank with a large barberi tomato pair. The tank originally had a large sebae but I added a carpet anyway. Very shortly the clowns left the sebae in favor of the carpet nem. The two nems had plenty of space and seemed to settle in their respective spots, no issues

Later I was forced to relocate another clown/nem pair (LTA/percula pr) into this tank, again no choice. Immediately it looked like the carpet nem was making a point to “run” down the LTA…Id actually physically pry away and move the LTA elsewhere and it appeared the carpet was going after it… I repeated this several times…could have been a flow light issue, I still have a hard time interpreting with this observation

I fully realize how ridiculous this sounds (basically a slime mass with no brain on a rampage)

Aware of the risk to credibility, I mention it on the off chance someone else has maybe observed aggressive “purposeful behavior” in a nem

Interesting. Ill pay more attention to this.

I do notice my red one is not attacking a large mushroom leather that's next to it. They touch eachother on the rims, and while the mushroom is not completely happy with it... it seems to have adjusted to it. The mushroom will curl away from the anemone en unrucl itself ontop of it. So it doesn't get touched on the tentacles of the mushroom

As in this pic. Everythime the haddoni folds over the mushroom, the mushroom wil start to try and fold over the anemone again. I can't see real stress on the mushroom... but they obviously notice eachother.

Besides the 2 haddoni's I don't have anemones. (although I do have 2 Anemonia viridis, but I can't imagine they will lose from a Haddoni)


My Percul.... nogo. Not in the red one and also not in the green one. They don't even go and look at them. My clowns seem to not know about anemones. Sadly.

So,

I did my homework. I placed a cover on top of the tank so the Haddoni didn't get light.
Only on the right side I left a bit of light. I hoped it would crawl that way.

And yes.. it worked. 36 hours later the Nem was more to the right where I could work with it.

I massaged the foot so it let go, and put it lower in the tank arround the spot I would prefer.

Now Hope is my only game.
