red gigantea ?????

[fin_wing]

A new carpet in our LFS & about 200(USD).
Do you think it's a red "gigantea"?

That red "lipstick" around the mouth says haddoni, but a pic from under the disk and the column is needed for an exact ID. No spots=haddoni, Blue or purple spots=gigantea.

A dull red, not 100% on the id but as phender said the lipstick says haddoni. It looks a little bleached and roughed up but with proper care should bounce right back to health, in my opinion that nem is a steal for $200

I've heard that there are red gigs but I have yet to see a pic of one. That would be one of the few things in this hobby that I would pay through the nose to get ahold of.

I think it's a haddoni, BTW

From the pictures, I have to say S. Haddoni too.

And for the lipstick mouth, just like my red S. Haddoni,

Isn't this a red gig? There is also a pic in "The Reef Aq. Vol 3"

And I have spoken with a few collectors that swear to find hybrids on a reoccurring basis.. So ID may not be as simple as counting on 1 or two characteristics.

Looks purple to me. I hope there are some out there. Like I said before, that's one thing I'd pay top dollar to get

Get a pic of the column! Even if it is a haddoni, post here. Doesn't have to be the entire column - just the upper half (the section below the rim of the oral disk).

Haddoni it appears to be. At 200.00, thats a steal!
