Amazing Gig

[lemonade]

This new gig continues to impress me. Had just my blue plus bulbs on this morning and it really showed off it’s orange/red tentacles.

It is very nice. I wish posting a video was more simple in the forums. Looks really cool moving around in the flow

Wish I could get one, they snatch your fish though. :mad:

Really like this pic of my Spotcinctus male and my baby Allardi clowns hovering over the gig

That is what I call a multicolor Gigantea. Nice

I think I found my holy grail Gigantea. Never did I ever expect a $100 green gig to turn into this. Every day it looks better and better and with 4 clowns feeding it daily it’s growing fast.

First pic under all T5 bulbs second pic just blue+ bulbs

That is a very gorgeous gig. If you don't mind me asking where did you get it from?

I got this from Galactic Coral.

Beautiful!! Can you post a full tank shot?

That is truly a stunning creature. What is your setup, tank size and lighting?

Tank is a 150 mixed reef, mostly SPS. Lighting is an 8x80w ATI Sunpower w/ ReefBrite XHO strips. Flow 2x MP40's on 100% pulse so the Gig gets nice bursts of flow.

I'll try to get an FTS of the tank

I love these multicolor gigs. I also love the fact that most of these are sold as tan or green gigs, and once acclimated they become almost iridescent.

This one was just a normal tan/green when I first got it. I would like to get some more light on it to see if I can pull some more color out.


FTS right about the time I added the gig it’s still in the same spot under the red monti cap to the left

Had the camera out today and took some macros of the Gig

That's gorgeous! Do you think he'll keep coloring up or is that his terminal coloration?

No idea, I would guess it’s about colored up. It’s not getting a ton of light so maybe in higher light colors might change
