Good luck! The color of these green gigs really pops.

good luck man! I bought 2 gigs from them but lost them both. I'm batting 0/5 gigs so going to sit tight for awhile. If you managed to keep it healthy and out of room, let me know and I might take a gamble ;)

Sorry to hear , where the ones from corals anonymous shipped to you?

I drove to Yorba Linda and picked them up at the coffee shop! lol They are “anonymous” - no store front. They said that they treated gigs with Cipro but that maybe questionable. Also, it’s not WYSIWYG so it’s whatever they brought in.

It’s really just a crap shoot. Hope yours will be ok.

 

[Ocellaris123]

Yeah they are the only ones who bring them in with any regularity. With newly imported gigs its always a crap shoot. I am pleased with what i was given so i cant complain.

You SoCal folks probably have the best access to gigs--and typically in better condition compared to other retailers/garage ops because the chain of custody is shorter--and they're still not all pulling through. It really is a crap shoot.

I have seen an influx of green gigs lately. This is the third one I've seen. One came in as "assorted carpet anemone" and the retailer tagged it as a haddoni. A keen eye might be able to find more at good prices. The hunt continues!

1000% agree, I get the scraps out here in the Midwest from both ends, West and East coasts.

Green is definitely my favorite color, especially since i run heavy blues. Are you looking for green?

 

[backbayreef]

I would love a green gig since I’m like you, run Radion Blues so blue/purple gigs don’t look as nice! However, [gig]beggars can’t be choosers - I’ll take anything at this point! lol

I always casually look because local hobbyists are always asking if I've seen any. I haven't QTed one in a year or so (haven't been actively looking and the ones I've seen didn't look favorable).

I have two green ones and one is thriving while the other is just surviving. It bolsters my belief that multiple gigs in one tank can lead to long term issues. I have the two gigs in separate tanks, but they each share their tank with other gigs.

 

[Ocellaris123]

Hopefully this one makes it for me, he will go into a tank with some colorados and no other carpet anemones. I sold the haddonis to lfs so he will be the only carpet

I had a really nice blue one that was stable for months. I had a great deal on the purple gig so decided to add it to the same tank -- well, the purple had an infection, died and took the blue with it!

Note to self: never mix gigs in the future.
