I am at it again. I saw this anemone last week at Petco. I am such a sucker for save-able Gigantea. I bought him even if I don't really have the room for him when he is full growth. I guest I will keep him permanently in my QT system (unless I am going to put another anemone in QT) If this is the case, I think of something or else set up another tank for more anemones.
My newest Petco Anemone in my QT system. Healthy this time and no treatment needed. Fed him some salmon this evening.
Never deflated in my tank.
right after put him into my QT system 2/23/2018

Here he is today. Not as healthy as I like for him to be but not really sick to be treated. I don't know why he does not continue to improve. This is a bad sign, and I am not sure what to do about it. I give it a few more day and may start on treatment and see if he improve. Compare to the last picture, you can see that he regress rather than getting healthier.

yeah, it's getting balder around the mouth. i dont have luck with 2nd treatment, i used to have 2 blue gigs, both went through treatments, both doing well for over a year, then somehow the smaller one start to do the inflated/deflated death spiral, so i go ahead give it a cipro treatment, but didnt do anything. i ended up losing it after 7 days.

He decline very slowly. Not deflated but close down smaller at night. We are on spring break so I cannot treat him. If he is not too far gone I plan to start treatment when I get back. Does not look good. Timing of things make it difficult. Next week everything will go back to normal schedule.
Right now I am not home daily. This whole week I am only home several days

I've struggled with the small ones as well. It takes a long time for them to recover and start growing.
On a similar note, I currently have a green one that's only about 3" and hasn't grown no matter how much I feed it, and I've had it for over a year. It's in the tank with 7 other gigs, so I'm wondering if allelopathy has something to do with it, as only one gig grows and the others stay the same size.

Picture of this anemone today. He is OK, but not as well as I like for him to be. Larger picture of my QT system with a Maxima in QT and various other things including a lot of algae.
Looks like at least it's pretty in the clear to survive. I'm sure you'll have in looking great in a few months.

He is looking good. Do you see any one color that may be coming out?
