S. Gigantea phosphorescence?

[mobert]

I have 3x400 watt 20K XM lighting and two 160 watt URI 03's and am thinking about trying a S.Gigantea but I'm afraid it might blend in with the purple coraline. I've never actually seen one in person yet. What do you folks think? Maybe look for a green one?

Been tough to get a healthy gigantea of any desired color Mona. Patience, maybe a years worth, will likely help you locate a nice green one.

Rob just put up some nice pics:

Good luck.

Mona,
Must be nice to have a choice. Good luck at what ever color you end up with.

So far, I hear there are at least three purple ones locally. No greens but I am willing to wait if it is even possible.

They are out there Mona. This one is in Project Reef's Gallery:

Mona,
Project Reef was selling his green S. gigantea a few weeks ago. Maybe he still have it. Maybe you should try to get in touch with him

Phender said there is a really nice blue one (or more) at Jeff's Exotics in LA. Things go fast though.

I like that green! Matches my Nepthea! Thanks all I'll contact Project Reef.
