Aquapros S.Gigantae

[jeemann99]

I picked up 1 of the smaller purple S.Gigantae today from Aquapros. Did anyone else pick up the other small one and large one. Just checking to see how yours is doing.

I will post pics once settled in and pumps are back up to full. Mine looks very healthy and purple under my 20k halides.

BTW this was the first time I have been there and both mike and Dave were great to work with. They have some nice corals and prices aren't too shabby either, but 1 purchase at a time I promised the wife

I picked up a neon green haddoni from them Saturday
Yep it's a great little shop
Pretty much all my stuff came from them

Is he in the sand, or wedged between sand\rock?

settling in

I picked up a neon green Gig couple of weeks ago that is still settling in... VERY slowly, but doing great.

Nice color like the purple

I really wanted the more hairy type of Gig, but to hard to find. this one will have to do for now

Got a shot of the under side of the disk? Orange spots, or blue dots?

I got a Purple Giga from Dave a couple of weeks ago. It's Doing Good.

This is just my opinion / first impression, seems like your Anemone is a Hadooni & not a Gigantea. Giga's like to be perched on rocks closer to the lights & hadooni likes a sand bed & has shorter tentacles.
Oh well, who knows might be the nem is just settling in & not open as yet. Post some more pics.

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't think to look for he spots underneath. Oh well, still a nice specimen.

 

[xtlosx]

Take something like a pipette or something and get the nem to show you the underside of the pedal...

 

[jeemann99]

I will keep you posted

 

[dgtron]

Certainly a beauty!

 

[taylor t]

I too, would like to see the underside!!! Any chance on getting a better in focus close up of the tents, mouth, and underside? Underside dot color?

 

[jeemann99]

I think I was bamboozled into thinking it was a S. Gigantea. No spots underneath, so I guess I picked up a nice purple Haddoni

 

[taylor t]

Purple haddoni is more rare than purple gig. Just look how many have showed up on the boards lately, compared to purple haddoni. If so, nice score!

Still, got a picture of the underside? Close up of the mouth? For a haddoni, something seems a little off in my eyes... That mouth looks a little off for a haddoni.... You may have a real rare one...
