Hey guys, went to buy some salt from petco the other day, stumbled upon 2 carpet Nems. Had the worker expose both of their columns, both were blue with purple spots. Brought em home, acclimated, and dropped them in the DT (yes, I know I know. Im a terrible person). One stayed on the rock, other went to the base of the rock. One seems like a full gig, the one that went to the base of the rock looks like a gig/hadon hybrid. Couldn't resist picking both us at $30 each lol. Opinions?

oh, and i tried to get the underside of the haddoni/gig hybrid as clear as I can. It may not appear so, but those dots are purple.

One is definitely a gig. The other looks almost like an Atlantic. Are you sure the spots are purple. They appear to be brown in the pic. Foot doesn't look blue either.

Can you take a better pic?

Well, since they are like finding a $100 bill stuck under your shoes, I wanted to make sure it was ok to ask ;).

I am looking for a blue or purple one, heck any color. I'm going on the prowl today.
 
They book look like Gigantea. Give them some time to settle in then you can tell.

They both look like gigs to me. Nice pick up!

Here's a picture of them side by side... the reasons the one on the right side has me thinking he's a hybrid is because his tentacles are shorter than the other ones' and he moved to underneath the rock. Also would like to mention, the guy on the right side has a neon green mouth.

I found one in Pasadena, but it's brown/tan. I hesitated cause I really want to find a blue one if I can.
 
Rule #1....

If thou findeth a Gigantea at Petco, thou must guard thy tank, and call for help! Thou must always remember that a Petco Gig is rare and immedately bagith the animal.

Thou must keepeth thy emotions under control and never giveth any ID information to Petco employee, so that more gig will cometh in and nobody will knoweth.
