Yellow gigantea? Your opinion please

[OrionN]

It is not very important, but would yo call this a yellow Gigantea? Attached is a picture of my Magnifica and one of my Gigantea. I have no problem with calling my Magnifica yellow tipped tentacles. How ever, would you call the Gigantea pictured yellow? BTW, I have had it for 1 month.

Hi Minh,

Looks like you are having some good luck finding anemones lately. The base of the tentacle looks to be a nice golden brown, which is of course the color of zooxanthellae. The tips look to be light in the picture, giving the overall color a yellowish tint. If it had definite yellow tips, I would call it yellow. As it looks to me, and I had to call it some color, I might say it was gold (or light brown )

But hey, I've seen dark brown corals called purple and light brown corals called orange, so what the heck, call it what you want.

I have to go with, golden brown:lolspin:

Like I said, it was not a really important question. The tentacle tips are light yellow in coloration and the rest of the tentacles are light brown, the color of zooxanthelae. I have him right in between two 250 W MH. Will see how he look in a few months. It does seem like I started to collect quite a few anemones.

Thanks for your comments.

This anemone is turning greener every day. This is a recent picture. Winwood stated that he had a Gigantea with similar color but turn deep green after some time. I hope the same will happen to mine. One can always hope.

Great transformation!

I think in TRA volume 1 or 2 Sprung stated that yellow Gigantea are bleached green ones. I never believed that but maybe he was right. It was clearly a yellow bleached Gigantea when I first got him. Now I think he may be right, or hope he is right in anycase.

how many anemone do you have.... I bet you must have a huge tank...

Its starting to look allot better. The yellow would have been a cool addition to your tank though.
