Blue Zoo Green Gigs Are Really Green?

[CoralsAddiction]

There were reports a little while ago on this forum of people receiving tan/brown gigs after ordering green ones from Blue Zoo Aquatics. I got a green gig from BZA today. It's as green as they come. So if anyone is thinking of getting one from them you can see they did not send me a brown anemone.

In the bag upon arrival

In QT

Very nice bro. A few months back, a member got a tan. He got his refund though. So harm no foul.

Wow... if I didn’t know you I would tell you that’s a haddoni. LOL

That’s one bright green nem. Nice pick up!

haha thanks
I can see why you would tell me that but it's 100% gig LOL

Definitely could pass as a metallic green Haddoni like I had a few years ago

I believed you the first time, but that photo (the under the skirt shot) is conclusive evidence as a non-lawyer like myself would say. ;-)

Your photos are excellent as they show the clear differences between gigantea and haddoni.

Excellent pickup. Thats a great color. Keep us posted on how it does

I got burned on the "green tan" on the last go around. Gave them another shot and got a true green this time as well. Wanted the blue they have in stock too but more than I'm willing to pay.

What on that upskirt shot is the decider on a gig? Is it the color of the spots?

Did you treat yours?

Started treatment shortly after it arrived. Looked pretty good upon arrival but deflated shortly after.

Same with this one. Looked ok at first but deflated last night.

Thank guys. I'm tempted to order one. But I don't have A QT ready.

Yes, color and presence of the spots (verrcucae). Haddoni typically don't have colored verrucae. Also it's a combination of the blue foot, as well as tentacle length.

Can you post a pic of your QT. I failed in my first attempt a few months ago. I think part of the reason was due to the QT setup.

Just a 10 gallon tank, with a small heater and a universal hydor pump for flow. I used to have a NanoKoralia but it got lost. The light is obviously overkill but I have a spare Kessil A360w so why not.
I actually liked using 18" Orbit Marine Pro LED light more than Kessil because the anemones seem to do better under it in QT. But it also got lost or tossed at some point.

Thanks for posting the pic. I noticed you only filled up the water to halfway. How many mg of cipro are you using?

I think your post helped them sold out. I was going to order one, but they are gone.

Nice. I probably would have grabbed one but I recently finally found a nice healthy one. Yours looks good. I just haven’t had much luck with cipro for some reason even when following the protocol exactly. Hope yours pulls through. What were they going for? I paid stupid money for mine but it was decently well established and didn’t need treatment so I didn’t mind.
