yellow carpet gigantea?

[ReefingIt]

Does anyone have a yellow Pacific Gigantea carpet? I have access to one from a local lfs but not quite sure if it is dyed or is this a natural morph.

Thanks.

It is most likely a bleached green Gigantea. I am sure there are morphs that have hints of yellow to them but one that is completely yellow is probably bleached.

I have to agree. I personally have never seen a healthy yellow anemone -- let alone a Gig that color. Like James said, odds are very good that it is bleached.

Bleached anemones can be brought back to good health, but considering the track record of Gigs, I would pass on this one.

Here's a pic of half the anemone. Is this bleached? the owner says it's pretty common that they get these in.

bleached, stay away from it. they are hard enough as it is

I made that mistake once from my LFS when I first got into carpets and didn't know any better. It unfortunately lived for only a week and then really started to pollute my tank.
