Haddoni's or Gigantea's ?

[Eric Noa]

Like the title says, what are these?

 

[BonsaiNut]

Almost impossible to tell in their current state without seeing the columns.

Gigantea have colored verrucae, haddoni do not.

If I had to guess, first is gigantea, second two are haddoni. But it would only be a guess.

The seller is going to send me more pictures. I asked if they had dots underneath and he said non of them have dots and their in the sand. I think the firsts one is a Gigantea and the other two are Haddonis.. but Im not sure that why I asked here.

the seller says they are gigs but doesnt seem to confident

the last purple nem like that sold last night for $355.. Christmas time!!

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

Very tempting, but he certainly isn't providing much useful info in the listing.

 

[Eric Noa]

All three are Gig's! I just got an e-mail from the seller with more pictures! All there are attached to rocks not in the sand how he had said before! They all have dots underneath and the tentacles are extremely long compare to those of a Haddoni!

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

How did the mouths look in the other pics?

 

[Eric Noa]

Not so good... the only one that had the mouth tight close was the green one.

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

Ah, that's too bad, but perhaps not surprising. Several retailers I checked with recently have been disappointed with recent batches, with at least one refusing to carry them at the moment for that reason.

Man Haddonis are so hard to come by! I have been after one for months!

 

[deangelr]

I just got this e-mail from Fishcollections in Placentia(So Cal, near Phil) last week and they have several red, blue and purple S.haddoni.
