Is this a natural color in a gigantea?

[beuchat]

Hi,

I have seen this gigantea in photographs sent vía whatsapp. I am planning to buy it but I am not sure about the color. It is not green but more closed to yellow. Is it possible for the nem to be dyed?

Thanks

It's the natural color, but it could possibly change from yellowish to a more green color. I don't think there is a gigantea that is a true yellow color (like a tennis ball). Most yellow ones I've seen eventually turned green. When slightly bleached they do look yellow though.

Yes it is a true color but he will likely get darker once he is healthy unless you have him in extremely high light.

Hi, I will introduce the green gigantea ito the DT. I will place him in the rocks wich form the central "island":

Do you think I should treat him before?. I am going to pick him in the LFS and he looks healthy, but I am concerned if he can transfer pathogens to the mag already establishes in DT

I would at least quarantine it for 2 weeks to a month to be sure it is healthy.

+1. I do this with any new anemone going into a system with established anemones.

I picket the nem today. The LFS was 400 Km from Madrid. I took a beach fridge and a powerhead connected to the car through an inverter (DC-AC converter). 800 kms in 8 hours [emoji41]. I bought also the rock that the nem was attatched to. I placed the nem in a QT. It looks OK

Looks great. Good luck with it. You definitely deserve for it to live after all the effort you put into getting it. I just got one that looks very similar but it's not in near as good of shape.

800km round trip - respect!
Best of luck. It looks beautiful.

And 24 after the placement into QT he has deflated once and now has this shape:

The mouth is not everted but I think that maybe I should start the treatment right now in order to catch in time.

What do you think?

 

[OrionN]

Give him less flow by direct the PH to the surface or wall. I would start treatment now or fore sure if he deflates again for sure. He does not look bad but not great either. Best of luck I know how hard it is for you to get one. I would treat now.

Yea. No point waiting on the treatment if he's already in QT anyway.

24 hours in HT. It has not deflated at any time

Looks a little flattened to me but I might just be paranoid.
