Tell me about them..
Although the Haddoni is relatively hardy it's a very aggressive and will eat your fish, even the big ones ! They also get quite large, the one at my LFS is almost 3 feet in diameter.

IMHO i dont think they are harder to keep than a fish if you have the light!
I have to disagree ! I think we need to make a clear distinction between the carpets as not all of them are the same. The Stichodactyla Gigantea and Mertensii are VERY difficult to keep in captivity. These guys come from shallow water and it's very difficult to match the amount of light they receive in the wild and they ship very poorly. I would suggest you avoid these IMHO.
