Stichodactyla haddoni (Saville-Kent, 1893)
Stichodactyla haddoni - the carpet anemone, is a sea anemone from the tropical coral reefs, Red Sea and Indo-Pacific. They live on sandy bottoms in shallow water and dig their feet deep into the water. The red species is very rare and correspondingly expensive.
The same applies here as for all sea anemones: If the foot is not injured and the water values are right, it is very easy to acclimatize.
As it grows very large, the tank should be sized accordingly. Nettles very strongly! Eats fish that are not careful! Please refer to the comments on the animal.
They are symbiotic anemones and important symbiotic partners of the sea anemone fish.
The following sea anemonefish are known as partners in nature: Amphiprion akindynos, Amphiprion chrysogaster, Amphiprion chrysopterus, Amphiprion clarkii, Amphiprion polymnus, Amphiprion sebae. Other sea anemonefish are also accepted as partners.
Comes in the colors green and sometimes purple to blue in the trade. Although the anemone has zooxanthellae, it should be fed from time to time (mussel meat, large krill, small fish etc.).
It finds its own place, so you only need to place it on the bottom. You may want to reduce or stop the flow until the anemone has attached itself. Please allow plenty of space for this anemone because of the stinging nettle.
When you put it back, make sure that it is placed very close to the stone structure. This way it is protected and will not be easily caught by the current. It will then find the right place for itself.
