My recovered Purple haddoni

[tassod]

Hello everyone,

I'm starting this new thread for my purple haddoni that I spent the last 7 days treating with Cypro. He is now in the display tank and is doing great. Here are some pics of him this evening.

Going to try to post a video shortly of him just after feeding him which he took the food very well. He's also very sticky i may add..:rollface:

[Ron Popeil]

[xrayjeeper83]

Very pretty hadd

[xtlosx]

Nice colors... glad its out of treatment and doing well! Keep us posted.

[Hodge1995]

Really Nice!!

[tassod]

Thanks everyone, what a difference the treatment made! When i first got him, he would not attach to anything and looked sick. Now, i didnt even dig anything up for his foot, he dug himself where you see him, and thats a lot of sand to dig.

[OrionN]

That is one nice carpet. If you ever need to send him away (eat too many fish) please think of me and let me know.
You got a red, green and now a purple. You should start a thread, or post on the carpet show off thread. I love to see pictures of all your carpets.
All you need is a blue like mine, and you got all the colors.

Thats a hell of nice blue carpet! I've been looking for a blue one...maybe one will turn up one of these days at my LFS. You are the first in line if i ever need to send any away. Here is a family pic of them :

[Vinny Kreyling]

Don't know if I have the ***** to put one in the tank.

[Nina51]

holy guacamole, that is GORGEOUS!!!

[Kyle10181]

Your purple Haddon is beautiful. Its incredible seeing the progress from the gaping mouth before treatment to this after treatment. Congratulations on the great purchase and save, it looks great in your tank :)

[Teage29]

That's amazing to have not one but 3 awesome looking anemones!!! You are lucky!

[tassod]

Thanks everyone for the kind words, i want to report that he is still doing great tonight as are the other 2. I will post more pics this weekend.

[crabbyreef]

Beautiful!

[debadoo]

Lucky clown fish. Those are NICE!!

[cerebrous]

very nice.... congrats on the treatment I will look it up

[Rotknee]

I see a 300+ gallon tank in your future. Those nems are beautiful and will be huge in no time.

How is the green one doing? Is it staying put now?

[Wretched]

Beautiful!

I definitely will be upgrading, maybe next year or so. The green one is doing fine and has been in the place you see him in the last pic in this thread for the past 3 weeks now, hopefully thats his final spot but i guess you never know. The other 2 have not moved at all so go figure.

[darrenduds20]

Absolutely stunning , i am going the same way with haddoni , i have a red and a blue just not sure what to get next .

[tassod]

Hey everyone, starting to get a bit concerned again, here is a pic of him today:

http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y420/tassod/IMG_0989_zpse5c1e6fa.jpg (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/tassod/media/IMG_0989_zpse5c1e6fa.jpg.html)

He shrunk up like this last night.....should i be concerned?

[OrionN]

Leave him alone and do not feed yet. He should be OK

[tassod]

Ok I'll keep an eye on him

[tassod]

Wanted to post pics of him today. This morning before lights came on he was I would say bigger than yesterday, then i was out for most of the day and about 8 hours later i came home and he had shrunk to a very small size like this:

He grew a few hours later to this:

What could be bothering him? The other 2 are just fine. Here are pics of them:

[ClippersTown]

dude, all 3 of them are just stunning! gotto have balls to keep 3 huge nems like that in your tank haha

[OrionN]

At night then usually shrunk up a bit. The thing is his best looking better than yesterday, and his worst looking better than his worst yesterday. If both of the answers are yes, then you are in good shape. If only one answer is yes, then unknown. If both answer are no then you may be in trouble.

I would say that he is the same, not worse maybe a little better but definitely not worse. Hope he's ok. The only thing i can think of is sometimes my diamond goby swims by on top of him dropping sand on him and i've had to clear good chunks of it that fell into his mouth. Could some of it possibly got in there and this is why he's like this?

[Rotknee]

Glad to hear your green guy is staying put. Nothing worse than leaving home wondering where he will be when you get back.

I think your purple may still be acclimating to your tank. With consistent parameters or shall I say, consistently good parameters, I am confident your nem will be fine. I've had my purple Haddoni for a year and it deflated twice in the first six months. Now he is doing very well and seemingly getting bigger by the day.

Looking forward to watching your trio progress.:thumbsup:

I sure hope so, he's still looking the same today, when i got home he was all shrunk up again, now he's somewhat a bit bigger but still looks like the pictures i took yesterday. Should i feed him? I've only fed him twice since he recovered but not since he's been looking like this.

[OrionN]

I would not fee him until he is completly well

[MikeL1987]

thats beautiful!

You got to move that Montipora or he is toasted

[tassod]

Thanks Minh, I did notice that and I moved it this morning. Wasn't easy as it was encrusted on the rock and small part of it broke off. I guess that small part will grow on its own to form a new Monti plate but that will take some time.

[OrionN]

That Xenia will get sting too but for Xenia, that part died off and the rest just move away. They grow so fast and it is not easy to get them off of the rock unless you can move the rock.
You, my friend, will need a bigger aquarium soon. Better think of upgrade.
For a lot of us, the cost of our animals is much more than he cost of the equipments.

[tassod]

Yes I know, looking for a deep dimension tank preferably at least 30" wide

[tassod]

well, not much change in him tonight, still looks deflated somewhat.

How long do I wait before starting to consider possibly treating him again. Not even sure if I should consider that.

[xrayjeeper83]

From what I've read, its better to get it into QT and get it treated sooner then later. Also that what ever is stressing that one could end up stressing the other two

[OrionN]

that looks OK. i would wait a little more and see

[tassod]

here's an update on him. It seems to me that he inflates during night when there are no lights and when full lights come on in the afternoon, he delfates. Here is a pic of him now with full lights on:

This is a pic before with only actinic blue lights on, this is the tightest i've seen his mouth closed:

Been about a week like this now.

[xtlosx]

I'd be concerned if this is happening this far along, but I'm a little nutty :-)

[tassod]

Just wanted to post that the purple haddoni is doing a lot better. I think he's over whatever was bothering him.
