ok trying to attach a pic. i have a hadoni carpet but have really been wanting a gig. la had one friday that i got. they list them as yellow? will this be ok with my other carpet? what about the yellow? is that gonna turn green

Yes, the color will change since the anemone is obviously REALLY stressed out. Once it regains its zoo, it will change color.

I have a large haddoni and a large gigantea in the same 40 breeder. So far I think all is well. When I first added the gigantea, less than 6 months age, it was pretty bleached. It has regained quite a bit of its zooxanthellae, but it has shrunk from about 16" down to about 12". It may have lost mass because of the lack of zooxanthellae, or maybe it has something to do with the haddoni??????? It's feeding response has improved ten fold, and the color has improved. I feed it every day, so hopefully it will start rebuilding mass soon. I've also kept a very small, about 3 or 4 inches, gigantea with my haddoni, and noticed no problems.

With chemical warfare and anemones things can be pretty tricky. There are many factors that can influence the outcome. Total water volume, flow direction, filtration, amount of water changes................. No one will be able to tell you that it will work out fine. I've kept this combination before without noticeable issues, but I'm still a little nervous about how it will work out in this system with these two monsters over the long term.

LA usually doesn't sell nems that obviously bleached. It surprised me when I saw it posted on their site. Good stable parameters and healthy feedings should have that carpet colored up in no time!

thanks all. im suprised they listed it a true yellow carpet. thats all that will be in the tank and depending on how things go i may seperate them in the future giving each its own tank.

thanks for the pics. i guess i have a gig instead of a haddoni,explains why it never burried its foot in the sand and wanted on the rocks.
