No worries thanks :)

Haddonis are the best for aquaria as they are hardy.

mag (giganteas) are known to die, they will look great for months even and then just wilt away. They are best to buy only if you find one that has been in captivity for a while.
ahhh, good information to know.
it would suck to have paid $450 for the thing and only then realize that it was a giganteas variety, freshly collected from the ocean.
If anyone is interested in it, you'd have to ask your local store (or me) to get it for you as SDC is not a retail outlet. (wholesale only)

I want my carpet nem out but his foot is attached to the bottom glass about 4 inches deep under the sand and he's right between two rocks. Any suggestions besides tearing the tank apart?
Try using a flexible plastic ruler. Put an edge on the bottom and then try to scrape/pry the foot loose like you were cleaning coraline off the glass. Maybe it'll let go and you can get it out.

Giganteas are usually the more vibrant colors like red, orange and blue however you do find red Haddonis.

For anyone buying a carpet make sure they are sticky, if they are not then they are not healthy. The mouth should also be closed, not tight but not open.
