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):

 I have a HUGE Red Carpet that I will post later down the road. You've probably already seen pics of it elsewhere. lol If you take a look at the upper left hand corner at the first display pic....you'll see another purple carpet and a pastel green carpet in the mix  The purple one eats and readily takes whatever I feed it. Very sticky. Uniboob - Sweet shots. Very nice.
