Bleached gigantea. What color do you think it will turn out to be?

[sonofgaladriel]

This very bleached gig nem just came in to one of our LFS. They have had it a few days and are acclimating it to lighting.
I'm considering a rescue.
I'm thinking it will likely be a tan or cream colored specimen, but possibly a light green once it colors back up. The bright yellow tint is intriguing.
What do you think?

Really tough to tell. But the blue base is nice.

 

[Creetin]

My bet is green.

It looks like a very bleached green gig.

The base of my cream/multicolored gig is a very nice blue:

The blue was much more intense during its acclimation phase:

Gadriel i have never seen a blue base gig live. ive gotten 2 or 3

Be happy the base is tan with purple spots cause thats all i have seen on healthy gigs

I would think its prob going to be green or tan. Are you going to qt the nem?

 

[sonofgaladriel]

I don't have a quarantine set up. It's very tempting, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to pass on this gig. Save tank space for my desired red based mag instead.

 

[ryanrid]

it will be green/lime

Gadriel,
The reason for the more concentrated blue color when you first got it, is that the base is scrunched down and the color is more intense. When the gig is healthier and the base extends you see that gorgeous tan base with purple spots.

Gorgeous GIG!
