My 2nd Attempt at a S. gig, 1st attempt under LeD's

[Reef1589]

im not gonna lie i tried to hide the little Gig in these past pics cause he is having some balding going on because i bought a spotted hawk fish, and im pretty sure the hawk fish keeps trying to go after the Crab in the anemone, and missing and biting the S. Gig itself.. but i will take pics of him this weekend for ya

Pictures of the little one as promised

Video taken tonight, sorry for the crappy quality, was taken with my Cell Phone, so the colors in some spots are off..
Let me know what you guys think about the S. Gig and how he's coming along

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aXlyDNqf-0g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


there is a minor concern i am having right now in both gigs around the mouth seems to have shruken tentacles, and through out the entire body there is little nub tentacles.. not really sure of the cause yet, i dont have any fish that pick at it that i can see all i got are the two anthias and 2 clownfish... and 1 mandarin...

what are all the causes of Balding? or some tentacles to become little stubbles

Heyyy Everyone, ive been kinda absent lately, i know you all missed me haha
i got pretty busy with work, and then i was fortunate enough to be sent over to the East coast 2 days before the hurricane and then stayed an additional 3 weeks and then went straight back to work as well... i was over there helping with the power restoration for those of you who dont know im a powerline tree trimmer for ComED in Illinois, and let me just say all my thoughts and prayers go to everyone on the east coast, i was there for awhile i saw what the hurricane did and it just seemed unreal..

BUTTTT today i finally had some free time, and the fact i put in for a vacation day tomarrow i was able to take the camera out and go picture happy, i got alot of big news...

Big news Number 1 ) my Rod's Onyx male and Booyah's Reef SNowonyx Female have decided to lay eggs =]! that happened while i was out on the east coast

Number 2) while out on the east coast my brother had bought me another bleached S Gig, this one is doing well so far its in the 150g, it hasnt deflated yet, only thing is, it has moved to the corner of the tank..

Number 3) right before leaving i took the Littler bleached S. Gig out and put it in a different setup it was acting weird and i didnt wanna take the chance, since removal it has improved, shrunk a little bit but regained alot of its zooxenthallae i dont have an pictures of it at this time

ONTO THE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!! =]
