I walked into Petco, and behold...a rare gem!

Among all the others- sat the rare Gigantea Carpet Anemone in the corner! He's a lil bleached, but he'll make a good addition to my new tank.

So how much was he? Looks good

He's $39.99, but goes on sale this weekend. So I had them hold on to him for me. He looked real good, so he should be fine.

 

[OrionN]

This weekend is too long. I just get him if you want him

I don't think saving $10-$12 is worth leaving that gig in the hands of Petco system and employees. You will have a much higher chance of it living if you buy tomorrow rather than wait 5-6 days. It's in decent shape now and god knows what it will look like by the end of the week. But if you have family or other reasons that won't allow you to purchase it sooner that's understandable.

i would go back and pick him up tomorrow but that is just me i wouldn't trust their staff or water parameters or even the Lighting.

 

[DasCamel]

Lol yeah, you have a bleached and but otherwise healthy gig, save it now.

 

[Bristle_Worm]

I'm going to get him Friday, I'm broke right now.

 

[monkey4life]

We have them here in colorado too. Surprised me when i saw it.

 

[addictedreefer]

Dead nem walking. . .

 

[eddiereefs]

Thats crazy... cop that now! Is that a blue carpet too?! I dont understand why petco thinks they can keep nems it angers me they run cf bulbs ***...

 

[kissman]

How long has your tank been up and running?

 

[hotelbravo]

Which petco location is that?

 

[Jrsdaddy]

No offense but if you can't afford $39 can you afford to properly treat this anemone when you do get it? The longer you wait the more likelihood the anemone will need to be treated.

+1 Keeping gigs and mags simply isn't for reefers on a tight budget.

in his defense, we have to sometimes be froogle to last in this expensive hobby and any experienced reefers tank on this site is better than petco

I agree as to the last half of your sentence, but only incrementally so. This nem will most likely require treatment to survive, which, at minimum will run at least $100, all in (assuming he will need to buy meds and a HT setup).

Too bad ptco in canada has noarine stuff

Even one that is already healthy, would NOT be a good addition to your NEW tank!

Amen.
