I will warn that shops have told me that their anemones have been treated before. Recently I inquired on the details of the treatment and it turns out they treated the gig for just 3 days. It’s widely agreed upon that you should do a full 7 day treatment, so I wouldn’t consider 3 day treatment as sufficient. If anything they could be creating an antibiotic resistant pathogen strain that way.He told me that the importer treated it for two weeks before shipping it to him. I'll have Cipro ready just in case and im literally working from home next to my tank and will keep an eye. I appreciate all your help. Btw, I'll hit you up if I see any anemones.
Neptune still has a red and a purple carpet and a bunch of red rbta
My 9th anemone from them. So far none was sick and I've never had to do any treatment. I do trust them and will watch for any illness. Right now it's acclimating greaat.I will warn that shops have told me that their anemones have been treated before.

Now you have a Haddoni and gigantea. Might as well search and add a Mertensii as well.
The one is mine. Just a little baby.
You should see Taylor’s tank. He is like the Godfather of Gigantea @Taylor t
Taylor T, remember this pic?
How many of these bad boys do you have now? Have any died? If so what do you think happened?www.reef2reef.com
Pictured is used without permission. I hope this is okay.
but my favourite is a user named shutiny
she is out of the hobby now but look for her journal on another forum. You will learn so much and oogle that 1000+ anemone tank.
Wow beautiful!Nice mertens! Lol I’m not The Godfather, I think that tittle goes to Rod of Rods food. Seeing his at his shop in early 2000’s is what made me like gigs so much. I originally started with 6 and got Pete’s 5 so I had 11. I sold 3 gave 1 away and all 4 of those died from system crashes. But still have 7 of the originals. A couple weeks ago in storms my GFI tripped and my tank lost power for 12 hours. When I found it all my fish died but gigs looked happy as ever. A real bummer.
Here’s the day before I lost my fish, I happened to snap a shot for someone the day before. I have another tank plumbed to the system but have been to busy to fill it.

$250, $400, $1200The pic above... using round numbers.. what are they selling for in Cali? Those are premium critters on the east coast. Rare.

Thanks. I moved it a little so it is blasting the two gigantea. The haddoni doesnt need a lot of flow.I am not an expert.
But the type of flow I provide for my anemones is pulsing. Two pumps, one on each side... one runs for a few seconds and then the other. It is that feeling you get underwater of being pulled one way and then the other.. a rhythmic feeling.
So the anemones tentacles wave. I am not hitting them with a direct constant flow from just one direction.
From the video it appears you are blasting the yellow gig while the rest barely get any flow.
Sorry about the fishes.
You measure the PAR your Gigantea thrive under. I remembered it was insane but don't remember the numbers. Can you remind me what is the average PAR in the tank above?
Thank you! I just pointed the two powerheads at each other and put it under reef crestIt does not seem random enough. If the PH is controllable, I would do one of two things:
1. arrange so that the flow of two PH meet just above the anemones, or varies the flow in random changes from way high to way low. Reef crest mode of the Vortech is really good at this. When I have the anemones in smaller tanks, have two MJ PH point at each other just above a Magnifica or Gigantea works great.
I agree with @Taylor t that Gigantea can live in lower flow for long duration of time but do much better with high flow.
I highly doubt it. Take a day time pic with flash. I bet it’s a Gig.
Really? I've seen red, pink, yellow, and green haddoni carpet. Seems they are equally as colored, if not more. I have not seen a red or pink gigYep, almost ALL colored carpets are Gigantia. Haddons are generally striped and variations of green. mertens have thin bodies and also almost always green or tan.
