[Reef1589]

so, my stock of pictures is pretty low, and i need some new stuff to drool at.. so im hoping some people here have more pictures to add to my folder

Non of these pictures are mine, just pictures i like to admire..
these are some of my favorite Multi Colored S. Haddoni's i've seen..

first off Todd owns one of them.. ( Hope he doesnt mind me posting it. )

love how it has that Purple Rim..

and Secondly, some of you might remember this one being posted.. but this is definantly one of my top favorites..
can find the never ended story of it here..http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1723739 ( I wonder if anyone knows how it turned out? )

looks amazing

now i now i said S. Haddoni but these are two S. Gig's that i find unique.. ones well known

And then here is an S. Gig i found pretty cool being sound by reefhotspot bout 2 years ago? maybe 3? ..

and of course... Gary's S. Gig (hope he doesnt mind me posting one of my favorite pictures of all time, and the background to my desktop )

Thank you so much for posting this. I have never seen a S. gigantea with a color "pattern" like this.

When I originally bought this, I thought it was a purple gigantea (I was very small). After I got it home I realized it was a haddoni.

After about 3 weeks it started to open up. Much to my surprise, it wasn't all purple but instead green with purple tips. Unfortunately, like a lot of really small anemones, it went on a walk-about and I couldn't find it no matter how hard I searched.

Damn, that sucks. You said "couldnt", so does that mean you never found it?

really.. omg.. send out a search party for that anemone, that would be really amazing to see grown out..

Here you go. Its moved once or twice in about a year. I feed it maybe 3 times a month. It will completely dissapear in the sand and the poor little anemone shrimp just hangs out on the sand until it comes out. Really funny! Its approx. 8 to 10 inches across.

Unfortunately I lost this anemone a few years back but it was beautiful. It was reddish/pink with green striations and blotches. Here is one of the only photos I have of it.

do you have a full size picture of it? its intriguing i wanna see all of it, or is it in one of those hard/awkward spots that its hard to take pictures of it?

Awesome thread Robbie!!! :thumbsup:
