Help to identify anemone

[PremmasB]

Hi, i visit a lfs today and they have about 8 carpets.
They told me that this nems don´t host clownfish, but they don´t know the species. They don´t have much knowledge, this is the first time i see them selling nems.
Here are the pictures.

Bro those are Gigantea, and Haddoni.

Grab the Gigantea quick!

Get all the ones with the purple spots underneath!

Those are diamonds in a tank!

I can give you a 100% positive ID on 3 Gigantea brother!

Go get em!

 

[PremmasB]

I'm going back tomorrow and choose one. That bigger one it´s huge. Something around 50cm, or 20 inches.

[Reefahholic]

Get them all if there're cheap!

 

[PremmasB]

Get HT tank and overnight Septra DS & Cipro.

These are rare and expert only.

How long ur DT been up?

 

[PremmasB]

It is really cheap, same price or less them a commom BBT.
I have the cipro here just waiting for it. Do you think i can use only cipro?

 

[Reefahholic]

Yes, and get them all brother. You can resale them like I do for $140. I bet they don't know what they are. Don't tell them!!! They think thier prolly a carpet NEM but not Gigantea. Most can't identify.


Just look for the purple spots and colored foot. Foot will most likely be blue, green, or yellowish. Look at them good. The tentacles on a gig will all be moving slightly vs Haddoni or Atlantic that won't move like that.

This DT has 1 year and 2 months.

I saw the purple spots, but didn´t notice the colored foot.

Great, that's good enough!

Make sure the dots are "purple/blue" on the ones you buy.

You will notice a colored foot, but sometimes it's faded due to stress as well as the veracues. If you put the right light, the base of the foot will be colored.

Remember, keep it hush hush, just say....I want that one and this one etc. ;-)

In the last 2 pics...those are all gigs. The big brown is a gig and so is that big greenish one.


Man some are a little bleached, but that greenish one is gonna be real nice I believe!

Can you edit ur profile and update ur location.

 

[PremmasB]

I live in Brazil. I dont have space for more than 1 gigantea. The big greenish one that is near the eggcrate?
I am searching for some gigantea pictures, the tentacles seem a little bit longer than those in my pictures.

 

[Reefahholic]

When a gig get happy, tentacles extend longer.

Some of them were moving the tentacles and some werent moving at all. That bigger brown wasnt moving. But the smaller was moving like crazy. Is this any kind of sign that they are with good health?

The ones that I see in the pictures are all in fair health. Some look pretty good.

Make sure the mouth looks tight, it's inflated, and doesn't look like it's lost any color. I would get 2 of them because one most likely may die on ur first try.

The green one looks pretty good. I might fly in tomorrow am and beat you to that LFS. Haha...
