My Multicolor Petco Gigantea turn out to be something very special. Below is an unedited picture, not even auto-corrected or auto-enhanced. I took it using an Underwater setting of my camera, an Olympus E-M5 II
I can see a rainbow of colors, from Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue to Purple. A truly special Gigantea, I have never seen anything like it.

I got this Gigantea about 3 weeks ago. He was a little sick so I treated him with Cipro. He did well. I have to go out of town for Spring Break so I ended the treatment early and put him into my sump. Here he is today, totally recovered and turn out to be a really nice multicolor Gigantea. Nice color with orange tentacles, green and yellow

So it seems like Petco is a good source for anemones. Despite all of the negative press. I would wonder - how did you know it was 'a little sick'

@OrionN I'm going to have to block you!! You’re making me want to get a blue gigantea sooo bad!! It’s my favorite thing in reef keeping (fish, coral, inverts) it tops it all!!!

Thats incredible. Really cool to see the progression made since you picked it up. The colors are outstanding. Reminds me of a prism.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
