Yellow Gigantea

[D-Nak]

They don't look had at all. The purple appears to be acclimating better since the tentacles are longer. I would put money on the yellow gig turning into a nice green one once it colors back up, as it looks a bit bleached. You may want to ask for a photo of the underside of the disk and column to look for the presence of colored verrucae to confirm that it is a gig, and not a haddoni. Based on the folds of the disk, I'm almost positive that it is a gig though.

I noticed the short tentacles near the mouth of the yellow/green. I can see some green too.
The blue/purple does look real nice. I do not know the lighting these are under.

Blue or purple is twice the price at $225 vs the yellow maybe green $110

Its definitely a green.

Looks rather haddoni like to me as well.

The purple one looks good. Definitely a gig

I think the "yellow anemone" is going to be light green, very much like my Green Gigantea. You can see multiple pictures of my Green Gigantea in my RC album. It is likely that it is Haddoni like like mine also. Here is my green Gigantea

Great pic Minh

I sent an email to get a pic under the disk/column
If it really is a gig I like the $110 price of the yellow over the $225 blue.
I think any healthy gig will be impressive.

Both prices seem very much in the ballpark, so don't feel like you're getting taken. I think the blue is in better condition so it may be worth thinking about paying the extra money for it.

ok, so the online seller ordered the green/yellow anemone. He had an order already shipping today. He is going to send me more pics of the yellow or green anemone tomorrow. Hopefully it is a gig.

Good luck on the green.. They are apparently harder to find, and I have come across 10x more purple\blue than green... finally found one. Keep us updated!

I am sure you see more purple and blue because they are more $$$

hmm... the mouth looks haddoni to me on the green one... just my thoughts..

+1. The striped pattern of the tentacles also are that of a haddoni. Even the color actually, though gigs of this color morph tend to look a lot like haddoni when acclimating. Were you able to confirm colored verrucae?

I've noticed when there is that much yellow around the mouth area, it's generally haddoni related... Not to mention the 'nem looks quite content in the sand there..

The purple gig will be in tomorrow. I will wait for that one.

I can't see any verracue, but still staying with my guess of haddoni.

 

[phender]

without a doubt, Haddoni.

 

[OrionN]

It is a Haddoni. I guess you will get the blue one?

 

[DogueDeBordeaux]

yes, it is coming in tomorrow to dealer.

Good luck on the blue Gig.
