Gig Id??

[blackgate]

I know that this is terrible quality, but it's from my web cam and I think you can get the idea. It looks great in the video and the tentacles are longer than they have been yet. Still has good posture so I'm a little hopeful that I didn't wait too long. Def got some dead zoo in the tank though. I have been waiting on a green gig for years now and I would have to say that I will be very disappointed in myself if i just ruined it. I'll keep posting for good or bad

As long as it's inflated it can take in the medication, so that's good. If it deflates and remains deflated, that's a bad sign.

IME, these small gigs have a hard time getting rid of the pathogen. I suspect that these small gigs were not collected at such a small size, but lost mass during the collection and holding process.

I agree, this was labeled as a "medium green carpet anemone (indo)". Def not medium size now. I also think that the clowns being separated from it has helped as well.

Not great, but not terrible either

I got this Gigantea from the local Petco yesterday. He was in the pet store for the total of 2 hrs before I got him. 1st picture at Petco, 2nd picture this AM in my HT. Wish me luck. He have not deflated and I have not start him on antibiotic treatment st this time.

How do u get so lucky! For years now u have been finding these guys!! Good luck, he looks fantastic. Mine has been doing great, not one deflation yet.

Made the executive decision to end the treatment at 5. Not one deflation and very very minimal dead zoo expulsion the entire time. If this doesn't work out and things go south I will def post results. I hope I didn't mess up but I think he was ready for a more stable environment.

Looking good. Hope he will do great for you. Beautiful Gigantea. IMO, while bright color Gigantea looks great, even common color Gigantea is a beautiful anemone.

Thanks bud! And thanks again for your hard work with such an important tool as antibiotics as a treatment for nems. Hopefully, this is another success story! How's your new acquisition doing?

 

[OrionN]

Just a quick update, looking very shaggy and has definitely gotten bigger. The color is pretty strange on this one as it is mostly blue/purple with green tips. Guess we will have to wait and see what happens with time.

Here is mine. I am leaving on vacation for spring break so I have to end treatment early. Mine also is multicolor with green and some orange tentacles

 

[blackgate]

Wow, that one is going to be NICE

Again, thank you to the pioneers of this hobby!! This guy is incredible!

I am glad he is doing well for you. Great Gigantea. Here is mine. Mine is under super bright light. Under Radion G4 pro at 100%. The light is 6 inches above the water and the anemone is about 3 inches under the surface right under it.
