Where did ya get him ? He's gorgouse

 

[armani4o3]

Thank you ! I have been looking for one for about two years. So I stopped looking months ago and walk into that pet place yesterday and there he was . They said its been there for a week so I had to grab him. When fully open he's the size of a dinner plate. They also had a bright green one but already had on so I left that one there for someone else.

Will this do ok under t5 or does it need a mh

 

[NYreefNoob]

depends on the t5's what depth of tank and do believe these need higher flow

 

[stbarnabas]

How much did you pay for it ... That is a beauty ...

Awsome Carpet

I just picked up one myself, i have never been much of a haddoni fan.

I have a pair of latz i put my blue carpet with. They need low flow and medium to high lighting. The name for the anemone is stichodactyla haddoni.

How high up are the t-5's and dont get caught in the stigma that MH is king.

Here is mine, if u wanna get rid of yours let me know. Good luck otherwise

Nice nem ! I have mine in a 20 long 30 x12 x12 I was looking at the 20" nova extreme pro 6 bulb I think. Or a 150 w sun pod. Both lights are 20" I want him to keep its nice color but don't want to bleach it cause of to much light also dont want to have to little light which is my best pick on lights.

 

[NYreefNoob]

for the price of the nep new id look at some leds, and issue with mh is gonna be heat

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

20 long is kinda small for that carpet, it will def outgrow it. Be prepared to upgrade.

its a beautiful specimin.

T-5s give you customizing with color and the ability to do night time and day time.
MH are expensive and too hot and will warm a 20 gallon too much.

T-5s are good, or LEDs if your keeping this tank long term.

What color is the mouth?

 

[armani4o3]

The 20 IS just a holding tank till my my 300 is up and running. so the t5 is the best way to go ? Would you say a 6 bulb or a 4 bulb ? The mouth is a white color you can see if in the second pic I posted

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

Can you take a better picture of the mouth?

Most blue haddonis have a reddish mouth.


6 bulbs .

 

[armani4o3]

So what does it mean beings mine is on the white side? You can see half of its mouth in pic 2

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

Im not sure thats why i asked. Ive only seen them with reddish, it looks like lipstick.

Its healthy dont worry.

Where did u get it?

 

[armani4o3]

Great looking Anemone.

I love those guys at TFP. I think I need a road trip soon. Maybe a Cabelas/TFP run would be in order.
