The LFS Lottery -- Gigantea, Haddoni, Other?

[SkullV]

Local LFS was selling these listed as Gigantea, but I was under the impression that Gigantea ALWAYS have colored verrucae? Either way, they had them under normal T8 lighting so I took one home and put it in a critter keeper in my sump (LED lighting) until I find out what it is and whether or not it belongs in my tank..

Can anyone give me a positive ID?

Sanded and rocks just in case:

Stichodactyla helianthus?

 

[bradleym]

Stichodactyla helianthus?

Agreed

 

[SkullV]

That is one of the "no-no" anemones for our tanks correct?

 

[taylor t]

If it was mine, I wouldn't put it in my reef tank with fish.

All I needed to hear. Looks like I'll keep it and let it recover in the sump for a couple weeks and then it'll get donated to a species only tank. Thanks!

anyone labeling Helianthus as Gigantea is a ripoff artist.
