With green gigs in particular, it's best to find a vendor that can provide WYSIWYG photos. There have been issues with people buying "green" gigs only to receive a tan one with a slight green tint.
The track record with larger vendors like Live Aquaria -- Divers Den in particular -- is dismal. They treat their nems with Cipro (I was on a live FB stream and posed the question to Kevin Kohen, who kindly responded) but this can be detrimental because if the nem relapses during shipment, it typically doesn't respond well to Cipro treatment the second time around.

I tried before but backed out. Bob is a nice guy and is very knowledgeable, but is full of promises and rarely delivers. Most seem to think he takes your money THEN looks for the nem you asked him for. He says he QTs and treats prior to shipping but this is questionable as well. All of this comes at a STEEP price too.
My memory is terrible. I did buy one from Bob and it got shipped to the wrong state and came a day later. He walked my wife through acclimating it when I was at work but it died a few days later. I thought he was very nice as well and don't think I tried another one from him. I'd like to find one again for my newly redone 470.

That place looks shady as hell. "White Carpet", "red Gig" and the "carnation"(thinking it's a malu) is dyed.
I ordered a blue gig from Ibluewater years ago. After a few months and numerous excuses he shipped me a tan and bleached green with the promise of a blue when he got one. Still waiting. I've heard good things about his fish but I'd never order another nem from him.
thats been my experience Green Gig

Yes. Pretty bad. Most the time they say they have one. Until you ask for them to send pictures. Then they don't. Most the time it will be a Haddoni not a Gig. I avoid them now.

Did you just place it in the tank in that last pic? Just wondering since the foot isn't attached. I've found that if they don't attatch well immediately it's trouble.
