Red hadonni at two weeks and my new green gem!

[sonofgaladriel]

The red hadonni is now two weeks with me and doing well. I feed it about every 3 to 4 days now. Seems very happy where it is and I think I'll leave it in the main display.
I brought home this little green gem tonight from one of our best and most reliable/trustworth fish stores called Fish World. Beautiful little guy. I think this is actually a gigantea as its foot/base has royal blue colored verracae.

They look pretty darn good.

I'm in love with your green friend ...

 

[sonofgaladriel]

Thanks! Pics of the green were taken just about an hour after acclimation. I expect it to be bigger and better looking tomorrow.

Nice find! The green one, has it got some pink dots under side/under the oral disc?

 

[shutiny]

And, a very beautiful red Haddoni. Your tank must be awesome with red and green carpets.

 

[db_triggerfish]

Both are beautiful. Please keep us posted. Another reason why I am planning a 55 reef tank. I love carpets.

 

[Bones18]

WOW, I like that green one even better... How big is it as of now? and let us know how big it is tomorrow after the lights have been on all day. SWeet FINd

 

[LesMartin]

I don't know how you do it ! That red hadoni and now a gigantea ! Are you planning on getting some clowns ?

 

[sonofgaladriel]

Thanks guys! I'll post some more pics of the green gigantea later this evening.
I do have a pair of black ocellaris and a pair of orange ocellaris in this 240, but they're hosting in my rose BTA's that are also scattered around the tank. They haven't taken a liking to the hadonnis at all.
My original plan was to move the carpets to their own anemone specific tank, a 24x24x16, and put the pair of black ocellaris in there, but these anemones look so good in the main display that I've decided to keep them there, for the time being
I'm just hoping they don't eat my angels.

Oh, the green gigantea has royal blue dots on the underside, not pink.

The gigantea has poor survival rate. I hope your will be succesfull. It would be a very beautifull anemone once established and thrive. There is nothing better than a system contain the 2 anemones like you have. Best of luck with both of them. I love carpet and roses, and you know why - Pinkskunk

I like the red haddoni. That must really add color to the full take shots.

Good luck with the Gigantia. I hope it does well.

I know they are tough, but I am starting with an apparently very healthy specimen so I'm hoping for the best.

 

[mobert]

wow, beautiful!!

Most certainly a gigantea. Nice find, looks a little like my green one (I have two gigantea's) when I first got it. I think I've shown you it before (my avatar is also a pic) but here are some pics of it in case I haven't shown him to you:

when I first got it (April 2005)

Pic from February

I have a yellow tipped gigantea as well that is doing incredibly. The tips don't show up in pictures so well but here is a recentish shot (also a bit old, it looks the same but about double in size nowadays):

(Man I need to get some newer shots. This is embarassing I don't have anything online newer than June.)

PS. red carpet is looking really nice too.

I am holding one of this Carpet Anemone. Is that a haddoni?

That is a stunning gigantea! I'll gladly take it off your hands
That's my next purchase, a nice blue.

Thanks!
I never get tired of seeing your anemone pics, no matter how old they are I hope to as well as you with them.

 

[delphinus]

You guys. I had to wait 4 years to find a gigantea, and now blue ones are popping out the woodwork. No I'm not jealous. Ok yes I am.

Fungia, that is a gigantea, as sonofgaladriel mentioned already. HTH..
