For sale I have a nice and healthy 4" s. gigantea anemone. Had it since February, never moved. I dont feed it, it just caught spare clownfish food. Last I touched it, it was extremely sticky and had to use plastic tweezers to get it to let go of me...I do not recommend touching it... Includes rock it has been attached to since I got it. The rock has lots of random life on it you probably want to scrub down. It has two groups of colonial hydroids you definitely want to scrub off before adding it to a reef. Or you can break the rock apart and just add the anemone (maybe the small rock you dont want to break) to your tank. Color is greenish tips with a brown body, probably to change under different lights. Body is purple with green tips under actinics.

Asking 100, OBO. Located Harlem Ave/Foster Ave.

When I first got it, a little bleached:

Its only grown like 3/4" since February. I never feed it, just light and whatever the clowns feed it. It should stay relatively small for a while. I have it on the sandbed of a nuvo30 with 8xT5 fixture over it. It seems really happy and never deflates at night. Not sure if giganteas deflate like other anemones though. I know mine tightens up a bit at night, but never deflates.
Great nem if your percula or occelaris designer clowns dont want to go in bubble tips or others. Giganteas are their natural host. This guy stays in one place too, connected to a rock right where it meets sand (I think at least, its hard to tell exactly where his foot is, I know most of it is attached in the rock).

I already have two gigs, so this one would be joining the party :-) I'll be monitoring this thread... I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it!

I would need just the Gig, and not the rock though... So depending on your patience, might need some time to get him seperated.. It's interesting that he's part sand and part rock.. I have a gig like that as well.
 
Rock is free I dont need it either. Crush and cut it up part by part until you get him out. Toss the rock for all I care. Im not going to try get him out. As-is! :)
