I have my haddoni for 4-5 months and it is very healthy . Just walked to my tank and saw my haddoni suddenly all deflated. Never saw it like this before. My haddoni is 10 inches and now it is like a tennis ball size. My lights just turned off for 3 hours. Please help.....I don't know what I should do.

Did you check your water parameters?

They can retract completely if disturbed. Looks healthy and should be fine.

I wouldn't worry it's normal behavior. I've seen videos/photos oh haddonis completely retracted under the sand in the wild, leaving the clowns completely exposed. This is one of the reasons scientists believe only larger, belligerent species inhabit these nems.

Years ago I had a haddoni that used to do this right after eating one of my fish. Missing one by chance?

I don't have haddoni right now, but I have had that happen to them in the past. They go MIA for a day, then come right back.

+1 on this. I wouldn't worry about it, you should see what my haddoni's have been through...he will be fine.

Thanks, he is back to normal now. This is the first time he did it like that in the 5 months. I really thought it was dying.

My pair of clowns was really lost without the nem. They thought "where is my host"
