Haddon's Carpet Anemone (Stichodactyla Haddoni)
Haddon's Carpet Anemones are one of the largest of the anemones available in the industry. This Sea Anemone can reach a diameter of up to 30" and will host most Clownfish and should be placed in a large, well lit aquarium that is well established and has stable water quality. Haddon's Carpet Anemone have short, blunt tentacles with a very potent sting. This species of Carpet Anemone prefers to bury its foot into the sandy bottom, and will oftentimes attach itself to the bottom of the aquarium glass, where its column is completely buried in the sand for protection. The Haddoni is also one of the few anemones whose sting can cause a severe reaction in humans, so keeping one requires care in handling.
