New Gigantea

[Sir Bubb]

Arrived on 4/9, and just finished 10 days of non medicated QT. I have cipro and amox at the ready, but these two never showed signs of needing treatment. They went through a little bit of inflating/deflating over the first couple days, but their mouths always remained for the most part closed.

Here are a couple shots taken immediately after I added them to the DT this morning (in hindsight, I should have also taken a few on arrival and during quarantine).

The smaller of the two looking a little unhappy about the move.

And the larger one. Also looking irritated.

Both gigs are super sticky, and attached to the rock straight away.

I’ll take/post some more photos as they get settled.

Thanks for looking!

seems like they'll pull through!

I’m really hoping that’s the case! Keeping my QT tanks and meds at the ready should things go south.

Starting to open up. I’ve been doing 80% daily water changes using water from the DT, (not going to miss that) along with using the same type of lighting. Hopefully it makes for a smooth transition.

Both gigs settled in over the weekend. I added an extra Maxspect gyre (currently on the lowest alternating flow setting) which will be dedicated solely to the larger of the two anemones. Thinking I’m going to have to move the smaller one to the other end of the tank and do the same, as I don’t feel that it’s getting quite enough of the right type of flow in its current spot. I do keep a fair amount of SPS coral in this system, mostly porites, so the overall flow in the tank is pretty high, it just needs a little help getting to the right places.
