Smile Red Haddoni Price

Just as the title says what would be the going rate for a red Haddoni and how rare are they? Thank you!

All the ones that I have seen are north of 700. There is one on eBay for 650.

My goodness that's a lot of money! I don't know if I'd be able to stomach paying that much for a fish let alone an anemone. I was hoping they'd be around 150-300.

They must be quite rare to fetch that much money.

There's a guy on another site right now that paid $1,200 for one that looks like it's dying.
800 is about what I see most, established or large size could be more.
We don't see a lot of them.

You can find green ones and on occasion blues in that price range but yes red, purple, and rainbow or more rare and command a higher price tag. Unless you have had many carpets with success I wouldn't take the chance on a red. While brown/tan are far more common you can find a nice looking green one in that range if it's your first try.

Keep us posted on how things work out for you. There is a lot of collective knowledge here and some very very smart people that would be more then willing to help you out if you need it.

Just keep in mind though sometimes it can take many tries to get a carpet through qt and into the display tank.

Just wondering, if the carpet nem is stuck to the glass in the qt tank, how do you guys usually remove it without stressing it out? Blowing the powerhead into it?

Worried about eBay but that is a gorgeous anemone.

I'll be sure to keep you posted on which ever route I go. Chances are it will be a green one. Thank you!

Whenever I've wanted to move any of my BTA's I've always used the ice cube trick and works every time.
