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

Best of luck man! If I can secure another gig, that's what I'll do -- add it to my nem/mushroom tank and not put into the frag/main tank. My nem/mushroom tank is super stable, no crazy chemical warfare (that I know of).

Gigs needs to be fully stable before they can be introduced to one another. I learned the hard way, too, many years ago. There is also something that causes them to be incompatible with one another. I don't know if it's related to the sex of the gig or allelopathy, but it sounds like it's common to have a dominant gig and the others are smaller in size. Of course, it's best to keep one per tank or system.

Mine was stable for 4+ months so not sure how to gauge “fully stable” and didn’t touch each other. ;) I even ran carbon but that didn’t seem to matter.

Completely agree - I will never do this again. Just one gig per tank going forward.

So now… I’m ready to try again but can’t source one, yet.
