Yes they are.
IMO, your anemone must have at lease some Gigantea’s genes. I would consider him a hybrid.
ID the species of an animal we must consider the whole animal, not just one characteristic and disregard the rest. Your anemone seem to be a Haddoni other than these verrucae on the column.
Too bad we cannot do an DNA analysis easy or cheap. This wiuld be one case that I am really interested in the reSultan.

I read allot about colour in the mouth. I am trying to get this on picture, but the problem are these LED light nowadays. They scatter to much individual colours.. so I end up with all colours on they rainbow in every different frame.

Will update with mouth pic.

That is a very beautiful Snowflakes clownfish. I normally prefer the wild type clownfish, but Snowflakes with beautiful defect free body shape is one of the designer clown fish that I like.

I am trying to get the colour right, but as seen here... the LED light reflect to much.
I got to dig down my old HQI to show this correctly

These are pictures of my Haddoni/Gigantea hybrid. It was a sand dweller, has shorter than normal tentacles for Gigantea but longer than Haddoni. He has a blue foot and has light verrucae.
I bought him as a Haddoni but after a little time I can see that he does not really easily ID. IMO he is a hybrid. These pictures was after he has been under my care for about 7 years. Next to him in a a traditional Gigantea.

Nice photo's!

It does look like mine has smaller tentacles as yours has. Since your comments in this topic I am again in doubt. I was sure it was a Gigantea, but things seem strange.

Thanks for the photo's!

Temporary break from SW so I just lurk now . Some of my old nems

My LTA has been pretty good. It did some walking around the first few months I had it, then disappeared. A few days later it was in this spot and has been there for several months now. Once it got positioned here, then the clowns figured out what it was. (They totally ignored it for the first 6 months or so.)

And.. I bought another one. This one has no verracue and looks identical to the green Gigantea/hybrid I already have.

Smaller and settling in.. so quickpic.

There isn't a better green color in any other animal than this. Congrad on getting such a nice carpet.

 

[Seancj]

That is a stunning green!

It is moving a little bit, and I don't yet know how to take this exact picture correctly, but I just see what I am going for here.
2 Carpets and a fish in a shot. BETA ;)

 

[World Citizen]

They found each other. The green one has walked 20cm over to the red one, and they are now touching.

Now make baby's please... :)

 

[World Citizen]

I got a older pic from one of my Carpets. I don't seem to have a better clear shot of this so... it's a crappy pic.

But this should be a Haddoni. Randomly one evening it did this. I just accepted this happend but have no clue what is going on.

Great anemones, but red and green mixed makes brown. Not sure this is the optimal coupling. lol

I would organise a party if that happens :) .

I don't expect anything with these animals. As long as everyone is happy in the tank... I am also happy.

My Gigantea rock. I just got to get some more colorful anemones.

I am trying to experiment on this anemone. I blasted it with two Kessil 360 at maximal setting about 2 inches above the water and the anemone is 4 inches below the water.
He seems to like it fine. Get much lighter as he get use to the light.
Will keep this thread update.
