Most Gigantea anemones reside in the bottom of the tank. They seem to prefer rocky sandbeds and medium current. This is a very large anemone.

at the moment it is in a small holding tank as it was stresed when it came trying to get clowns out so i can settle it in as the clowns will bug it its about 4 inches when open only had it since tuesday

Clownfish need to expose themselves to an anemone slowly. They will "Prod" and "poke" until they are acclimated to the anemone.

I agree, most Gigantea are found at the edges of a reef in sandy areas.

I would like to note that gigs prefer strong current.

I'm really glad Pete had shared these amazing photos, because I had never seen them in the wild like that.
