So I've been around this Forum for some time. Going back five years or so there has been a shared quest amongst we anemone enthusiasts to find, buy and keep a Gigantae.
Recently there has been an influx of them and I'm wondering if we can keep track of the success stories associated with the influx we are seeing. I would say you need two months with a healthy specimen before I would even consider it viable long term.
I bought an excellent specimen last month. Nice firm body with deep folds. Dark Blue in color with no signs of bleaching. Sticky enough to be hugely frustrating to place. Alternating current. plenty of par. It went into a 400g reef with near pristine water quality. Tested via a lab and not yours truly. Sweet picture right? Lasted three weeks and out.
This is a common theme in my many years of attempts.
No offense but lets try to keep this discussion focused on either success stories or some pertinent facts from those of you who have observed them in the wild.
Please don't ask for advice here because to be honest no one knows for sure and there are one thousand threads in this forum with anecdotal evidence or just regurgitated advice about Gigantaes.
Here's an old thread from years ago. Maybe I can get Bonsai to appear by linking it
