New carpet
I'm not 100% convinced of my attempt of an ID, but I think I've stumbled across a Stichodactyla gigantea today.
     The tentacles vibrate like crazy, the oral disk tends to fold up instead of lay flat, and the verrucae are not only present and visible, but they are purple (S. haddoni tend to have verrucae that are not a contrasting colour). This guy is TINY, about 6", so hopefully time will tell for sure. It is a very rigorous specimen (attaching to substrate instantly and robustly), which I hope bodes well for its health. It has already captured a few stray pieces of mysis when I fed my fish. Wish me luck!

Woo- HOOOO! Finally, man - great news! Glad you came across this one, it looks just excellent. And just a baby...
 Can't wait to see what colour it gets to be. This is in your 75?

Thanks guys. Yeah, can you tell I'm a child of the 70's? I dig shag carpets
 Found it at Big Al's. (Thanks Nate!) Today I am noticing a subtle yellow to it .. tips, and around the mouth area. It's also opened up a wee bit more. I'll try to get some better pics this afternoon. It's not blue or purple, but beggars can't be choosers ... of course it's much more important that it be healthy than what colour it is, but nevertheless I think it could turn into something interesting.

Looks great Tony
What tank do you have it in? Does it get its own tank too?  Christy
