Over the last year I have trying to collect Carpets. Gigantea and Haddoni. I have two Haddoni carpet that I am very happy with pictured below. The Blue one I have had for almost 1 year and the Green one I just got. He is still in treatment tank. I pick him up from GC reef Friday. They ordered it for me. He was all deflated with gaping mouth after 36 hrs at GCReef so I took him home and treated him with antibiotic.
I used ciprofloxacin 250 mg in 10 g water and put him it it. He seem to recovered very quickly and have not deflated since. I am not 100% sure that this is due to the treatment. It could be that he was adjusting, how ever when anemone adjusting, they can deflated but not gapping open mouth.
Anyway here are the pictures of my Blue and Green Carpets

I wanted a Gigantea forever. Now I got two. A brown and a purple Gigateas. I will get a green Gigantea in 10 days. This particular Green Gigantea have been in captivity for about 8 years. I will post pictures of my Giganteas in another thread at a later time.

I MO the blue one from Fishcollection.com and GC Reef special order the green one for me. I traded 20 Xenia start for it. Both are exceptionally small when I got it. The Blue was about 3 inches when I got him and the green is about 4 inches right now

Allan,
Haddoni will get big if you feed them well. I have seen them up to about 18-20 inces in diameter. I have no really experience with them in the wild.
Thanks.

Well, I got the Green haddoni treated and out of QT into DT. I put him in with my Blue Haddoni so now I have them both in a small 24 g Aquapod. Both was under full sun when the picture was taken mid morning this AM. I am using my phone so the picture color is off. Last picture is more accurate in term of coloration of the anemone in real life
