Where to buy Gigantea?

[Lumamae]

Just like it says. Anywhere that carries healthy specimens? Do these ship well? Also, do these anemones come in different colors?

6th Ave Aquarium got them two weeks ago. Give Coleman a call before you go. You could also ask Ming(Atlantis) or Hunter(Lucky Gold Fish) to get you one.

I saw them when they came in, but the worker said they were just carpet anemone. I was looking for longer tenticles, so I didn't recognized them. Is that the different colors that they come in, neon green, lavender and blue?

Giganteas are very hit and miss. They are also a very difficult anemone to keep. Many people who are considered very experienced anemone keepers can have a very difficult time with them.

When I saw your post, my first thought was, "if this guy doesn't know these very basic things about gigantea carpets, then he has no business trying to get one."

I am not trying to be mean, but unless you have a great deal of experience keeping anemones and know a lot about keeping giganteas specifically, you should not attempt to keep one.

No, they don't ship well at all.

They come in a variety of colors: brown, neon green, teal, blue, purple and even red.

I saw these too and I think the sign read "large carpet anenomes". A few people has said those where Giganteas. All carpets are much harder to care for than something like bubbletip anenomes.
