Whooaaa.. nice!! Are you going to be bringing these in regularly?? Man, I would setup a species only if I could find a healthy haddoni. Two clowns and one anemone is sounding very nice to me right now.

because of the species and size, I don't really have the space to hold these for sale.
However, if someone wanted to pre - order, I would be able to bring it in for them. Neal

These are gigantea carpets not haddoni. I'm certain - although a close-up photo of the verrucae would confirm the ID if anyone is skeptical.
Had I the space I would snap up the blue one immediately. (I already have a green one  ).Be advised that this species is notoriously difficult to acclimate to captivity. Should not be attempted lightly, but these are fabulous looking specimens that are rarely seen.

Oh I wasn't saying they were Haddoni, if that's how it came across. I was just saying, it would be super if I could find a nice healthy Haddoni. I would never try a Gigantea... I've read way too many horror stories and not enough success stories That and I don't have nearly enough experience with different species of anemones !

Sorry Scott wasn't directing the comments to you (or anyone for that matter) in particular. Just pointing out what came immediately to mind, that these are gigantea's.
It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that the availability sheets usually just say "carpet". There are 4 species of carpet (1 Atlantic, non-clownfish hosting, and 3 IndoPacific carpets) and each is quite different in its needs and care requirements and sensitivity levels. To me it's usually quite brutally obvious what species a carpet is so I think it's inexcusable for anyone in the business (again not directing this to any specific person) to not identify the carpet species. These wholesalers can do it if they really tried. I've even seen people refer to ritteri's as carpets. ..  At that point you may as well refer to an acropora as a fish!  Or a shrimp as an urchin. Or a piece of live rock as a bird. "I just started a new tank and I'm cycling 60lbs of African Grey!!!" (Ok maybe now I'm just going too far.)Anyhow sorry for that little rant... Wasn't trying to be preachy at anyone, but just had to share my thoughts. I may not know very much overall, but what I do know I'm going to make darn sure everyone hears about it!!
