Haddoni in Tupperware?
Can someone give me step by step instructions on how this is done?
I've also heard of people placing them in a jar? My Red has half his foot attached but can't quite seem to get comfortable. I only have about an inch of sand so i'm guessing that this is the reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Haddoni's prefer deap sand beds. Mine is 6 inches deep and he has burrowed his foot all the way to the bottom of the tank. You could try a deep tupperware dish filled with sand to see if ythis helps him....

I guess thats what i was getting at. I just can't understand how it can push its foot through all that sand to get a firm grasp on the bottom of the tupperware. But i guess the rocks holding it in place helps a lot. I'll have to give it a shot. I just figured it would be fine attaching to the bottom of my tank? But it almost seems like the crushed coral i have in there is irritating his foot as he tries to attach.

In my experience, put in some sand, clear away a patch to the bottom of the container. Place the anemone in the cleared spot. Fill in around the outsides with sand. Place appropriate sized rubble around the outside.
My larger specimens would easily "move" LR the size of footballs, which is one reason I kept the rim of the lid. It helps keep the anemone in the box and it helps keep sand in the box when you have "active" clowns fwiw: A healthy haddoni, has not trouble at all in getting down through loose substrate. Substate that is packed hard from calcification, bacterial binding, etc., may be more difficult.
