my new score-two blue gigs.

[ptr13]

They are 24 hours in and both attaching to rocks, one is healthy and the other one is healing right now but at least its not gapping like the nems I receive from shipping.

The foot on close up to a live rock

The other anemone is still healing with the mouth semi close but anchored to a rock, what are my chances?

Hey, great score!! I actually am heading down there to look at the last one, the purple.... How is the purple looking when you saw it?

Just as important, any updated pictures? How are they doing? I've been looking for a Gig FOREVER and this is just an amazing opportunity if they are healthy. Any advice would be great.

[xtlosx]

I got dibs on the last purple one.... picking it up shortly. Great thread, looking forward to updates!

Thanks!! It took me a bit to find a good spot for him to anchor yesterday but when he did, looks like he's happy.... I can't see well right now as the tank is dark, but I can see the gig perched where he was last night expanded and changing shape.... Can't wait until 8am.

Good luck with the Gigs, they are beauties and keep us posted with pictures! This place might be a little gem if this is the case... and local Maybe a red gig next?

May I ask what Bensenville was asking for these? I would LOVE to try one... especially with the recent successes stories with anti-biotics!

Thats pretty small. I havent really found any locally less than 14", so I had to order a 3" one online. So far so good.
