Worm's S. Gig
- Thread starter worm5406
- Start date
Let me re-word that.
After watching the video of day 15 I noticed about 3pm that the blues came up and it retracted. I have since modified the light pattern/frequency to what was before 3pm and hope to see a difference today.
If you read my old wording, it sounded like I modified it then took the video. As a reminder this is timelapse video, 5 minutes of video is squishing 24 hours (roughly) of time. That means that between frames is currently set to 10 seconds. There are 30 frames per second.
Well things looked worse than I though.
It is still holding on to the wall.
I saw some of it on the camera but was at work and could not get home.
I did a triple water change when I got home hoping to get most of the junk out of the tank and the haze.

As you probably have already realized, the anemone is showing signs of necrosis. I have never seen a gig come back when in this stage (where the tentacles begin to fall off). Unlike other anemones that detach when sick and lose the ability to stay attached to a surface -- be it a rock or the tank wall -- gigs can remain attached even though they are in very bad shape. The first gig I had began to decompose but was still attached to the rock. Sometimes, no matter what we do or how hard we try, the nems are just too far gone by the time we get them. Sorry.

I think he is gone too. I think what he got is resistant to Cipro. The antibiotic slow the infection down but not eliminate it. I am sure the anemone does not smell bad, but I think he is too far gone.
With time elapse movies we can clearly see the waves rhythmic contractions of your when he tried to eliminate stuff from his body. IMO, in the future, we can look for continue contractions like this as evidence that treatment is not working.
I am sorry and better luck in the future.

Yes it is gone. I looked at it this morning and I am about to dispose of him.
I do not know what is in the one red container. Looks like it was pregenant or something and it tried to let loose the young, or it was some sort of internal items. I have not seen them like that before. They are about the size of a grain of uncooked rice.
I am moving the live web feed to the 120, so if you are looking at it still, that will be the new view. Most people have not really seen into that tank as I have not publicized it that much since dealing with the Gig.
I went to the LFS that I got it from, today at an open house, and met a guy that was following my thread, nice to meet people outside of the screen.
Thanks for the notes/texts/e-mails with ideas/questions/recomendations.
I am going to wait about a month or so before I pursue any additional gig's. I need to do some tank work/update that I should have been doing. I am not going to give up on getting one.

Do not worry. I will not. I have already cleaned out the QT, PH, Heater, and Airpump.
I bleached it out and then flushed it all. Just to make sure nothing else was attached or left behind. Tossed the airstone and already have a new one ready.
My LFS is looking for one. I went to an open house at LFS today and they had three there, about the same color as the one I had too.
I did not get it, as I had to clean things out when I got home.
They are looking for a blue/purple one.
This will give me time to finish aquascaping the 120 and fine tune the way things are running.
