Gig Coloration?

[Swayze27]

My quest has ended once again......so I went out today and bought corals, lol. Not bragging but anything I ever set my mind to do, I can pretty much do it. But for the love of God, I cannot get a healthy gig or successfully treat one and IT IS KILLING ME!!!! Now that that's off my chest, I changed some aquascape up and gonna fill in everything with some colorful coral. My luck I'll get done and my mags will go for a walk.

Yea. It really is easier and actually cheaper usually to just bite the bullet and buy an established one. That’s what I did for my blue and my green. Paid pretty crazy money for both but it was worth it to me. Before that I had spent at least $1200 trying to buy a fresh import and get one to survive. I ended up with one brown one that lived but wasn’t impressive looking. That $1200 isn’t even taking into account the price of all of the countless ten gallon water changes and cipro. I think the guys out on the west coast have an easier time getting them before they are too far gone. For me down in FL, I have had very little luck treating with cipro even when they arrived in what appeared to be pretty good shape. I did treat the brown one but I really don’t think it even needed to be.
