s. gigantea anemone

[Pinkskunk]

i checked them out last week and even prior to that, they are NOT selling to the public. unless you knw of a backdoor access? want to share with us? i promise i will share pics if i get anything good from them :lol2:

Did you see the yellow ones that Global Reef Supply got in a couple of weeks ago? I was hoping someone on RC picked one up and could share photos. I am wondering if they will maintain the yellow as seen in the photos (the photo is highly processed, as evidenced by all of the artifacts and odd color of the verrucae). They could be the green ones we're familiar with.

LOL... yes, they are wholesale only. Just ask your LFS to order from them! My LFS offered to ship a yellow for me, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. Another LFS gets shipments from them all the time.

As long as the Gig is healthy any color; but the blues, and purples are quite nice !

so the yellow one is much more green then yellow . so i am going to go with a blue one . i will pick up next week

Good luck with him Jeremy. You are doing something that I would never do. I would never add a new anemone to a tank with establish anemone.

Playing with fire and you will get burn. I got burn twice. I may be slow but I think after got burn twice, I learn not to put my finger into a fire.

Yes i Know what you Mean i should have put in a QT tank . It look really bad in the bag it came from the wholesaler and the bag water was really bad by the time i got it home . just wondering what would be the first sign that i need to treat with Cipro Minh ?

WHAT??? the one you got in your first post died? it was looking great, what happened?

 

[OrionN]

If it deflates, I would pull it out of the DT and start treatment.

I am not being a pessimistic.....

Is it possible that your tank maybe has some sort of B-12 additive or extra flux-compassitor readings?

Or are these rescue ones?

I mean I have a hard time growing GSP that EVERYONE else wants to get rid of for free, including shipping, that I can not keep. But I do not have issues with other things.

I am not sure i follow i dont add any B-12 just stable water chemistry and i love feeding heavy . i dont have any GSP so i cant touch on that sorry

As the light turn out, by gigantea decrease in size to about80% of day size but not deflate.

I was just asking if there was something else wrong. Making sure that you were not a final resting place for hundreds of gig's by accident.

Not Sure if this is an Insult or not but i have been keeping Nems for 3 years now the blue gig that i got was the victim of being cut it really never had a chance . Why would i be the Final resting place ?

 

[worm5406]

Ohhh... sorry... I was not saying that... No insult... Just hoping that you did not get a string of bad luck lately and something had changed.

Sorry if it came off like that.

it's all good . It did kind of come off that way . No I just got a bad Gig and I hope this yellowish green one does well . They are beautiful animals and so hard to keep I just hope that this group from RC can influence possible the fish stores and maybe one day the wholesale to treat Gigs with Cipro before selling them it would be a win win for every one .

My Gigantea get a little smaller when the light are out. I think my Gigantea are healthy and growing fast and thus think that it is normal for them.

Okay thank you yeah my original gig shrinks way down when lights are off when lights are on he is a tad pit bigger than a dinner plate
