New Gig looking for opinions.

[flameangel9]

This is my 2nd attempt at a carpet. My 1st a Haddoni didn't make it. Being a gig I don't know if I can compare the two, however this one is ultra sticky. Its also very reactive my clown hosted right away and fed it. The nem appeared to eat. I have yet to see the mouth but I imagine its tight. My Haddoni was clearly inflating /deflating mouth open etc. So here's a couple pics I'd like to know what you think.

Yes it is I bought him because he was almost all black on that side. His mate is a perfect Black O.

No surge but lots of flow.

take it this is the one from dd sold 2 days ago. how long has it been in the tank? i'd say it looks good as far as acclimation goes so far and if it looks that good after 48 i think that will be very good.

i've seen a gig decline instantly after introduction starting with a gaping mouth that keeps getting bigger so i think the first hurdle is passed if you make it 48 hours without seeing that.

it also just looks good generally (acclimating or not)! great color. i think it will need to regenerate a good amount of zooxanthellae but that's almost always the case. the tentacles are pretty much transparent or white from what i can see. with the right light they'll be brown soon enough.

what is your lighting setup? good luck!

Current USA Outer Orbits 3x250 with 4 T5's, I got it today from DD, purchased 2 days ago. It was rediculously sticky upon intro.

I just hope the clowns aren't bothering it.

And I didn't even know they could type. Ba-dump-bump. *ducking*

JK. Looks nice, and that's a beautiful black ocellaris (I have a pair of black misbars and love them).
