Just thought i'd show off my S. Gigantea's..

[Reef1589]

Hey everyone just thought id show off my S. Gigantea i bought roughly a month n a half ago..

this is actually both my S. gig's one is a bleached on that is recovering.. has been in my tank for nearly 3 months, the big purple one is just under 2 months, the Bleached one has made huge progress so far, considering it was completely white/translucent when i first got it.. as you can see its starting to regain some of its zooxanthellae back (the brown in the tentacles)

the clowns are a Snowonyx from Booyah, and a Rod's Onyx

Hope you enjoy the eye candy =]


Here is a Full Tank SHot to show you the size of the purple S. Gig he has really oepened up =] and gotten big, as you guys can see, i added 2 strips of LeD's.. because imo the front and back and corners were too shaded for me, so i threw these on there, and have them turned down to 50%

He's really coming along i think IMO i dont think he's coming along as fast as some other's have come along, idk if it has to deal with the LeD's, or if its just cause it was THAT bleached... but needless to say, he is indeed Coming along nice and healthy =]

and here's some Bonus Flash pictures i took of Big Ole' Purple
