So my local shop had a killer sale this weekend and I picked up a haddoni for a biotope display that I'm building right now. It will be hooked into my main system that has a long running 120gal sps dominant tank and a 100gal grow out tub. The haddoni is in my grow out tub in a basket until I finish getting the display togeather and get the 3 clarkii clowns I got for it out of qt.
So far the nem seams to be doing a lot of inflating and deflating and spitting out some junk. The mouth is not gaping but sometimes inverts slightly before retracting again and the foot is attached to the wall. Tentacles are also very sticky so I would assume this is just normal activity for a haddoni that's acclimating to a new environment? Currently it has a porcelain crab hanging out with it but that's all that's in the basket for now. I'm planning on adding a glass dish with sand for it to burry it's foot in but wanted to know if that was really necessary or if it would be fine living life in the basket for the next month. Photos are new to old first from thismorning before lights came on, second from yesterday and first from the day before.
