My local LFS has this.. Said he has had it for around 6 months.

Is it super bleached? or no?

I was really wanting to add it to my tank, however he said he could not get it out (in a 300Gal) with Egg Crate below the sand which the Nems foot is anchored too.

Price is $40.00, He said if I was really persistent he would arrange the rocks so he could safely remove it.

Is it in good health or no?

Hadonni (green) Other than being bleached it looks good. Haddoni are notorious for eating fish and even some clownfish. Good luck

eeeeeee.

I only have a 55Gal that already has a rather large RBTA.. I might just pass on him...

Dont feel like giving any of my fish multiple death traps to swim around lol..

Is he worth 40$ in his condition?

$40 is good considering they can cost $80+ at most LFS

Very bleached haddoni. It could be any colour as I dont see any green, but that may be down to my PC settings.

I see green in it, I would not call that animal healthy, nor would I pay $40 for it.

No one said it was healthy.... $40 is a great deal in my neck of the woods bleached or not.

I have a white one just like it in my 75 reef tank . Keeps moving around, wont settle. I also have a very large 1-1/2 foot green carpet that always stays put. Problem is I have had SEVERAL of my favorite fish (large butterfly, 2 blennies, sifting gobies, blue damsel)disapear in the 6 months these anenomes have been in my tank. So yeah, they eat very well. I want it gone, you have have both of mine for FREE! seriously free. Good luck.

It looks bleached, but otherwise healthy. I would be very concerned that the lfs owner might tear the foot if he tries to remove it. If I were you, I would suggest to the lfs shop owner to leave it alone and get some proper lighting for the anemone. It could make an impressive display with a pair of natural symbiotic clownfish residing in it.

I got something very similar free in a tank tear down. It was so bleached that I was afraid to put it in my tank, but it had a porcelin crab on it so I decided to risk it. Now that it has colored up a beautiful green, the combo are one of our favorite things to watch in our tank.
