Taipan is on a distinguished road
Thumbs up Blue/Purple Carpet.....

I was uncertain if it was a Stichodactyla mertensii or Stichodactyla haddoni at first. After some research and inquiry; it was concluded that it is a haddoni. The unique coloration and shape/pattern of its shorter/stubbier tentacles is what initially attracted me to it. Enjoy.....

Here's what it looked like at the LFS attached to the side of the aquarium:



Here's what it looked like in the bag after collection from the aquarium. Notice the stark difference in colouration and unique tentacle pattern. Also; no visible (tiny) oral disc which is another anomaly.





Pictures of it being acclimated in my sump:







Pictures of it in my display (it had taken up a home in an empty clam shell):
