Gigantia or Haddoni?

[xiongsy]

Is this a gigantia or haddoni? Looks to be green tentacles with purple base. At petco, there was two. 1 bleached and this one. One had tentacles on the underside and the other didn't. Went to look around the store and came back the one with tentacles like on the underside no longer had it. And, I can't remember which had it.

Picture doesn't show the green tentacles and purple base

That anemone is a Haddoni.
Best way to tell between the two is a clear sharp picture of the column.

What am I looking for on the foot for a gigantea?

"Differentiating the Gigantea from the Haddoni is best done by looking at the underside. The Haddon's have rows of spots on the underside of the oral disc which stop at the column, the Gigantea Carpet Anemone does not." This doesn't have any spots on the underside...atleast not for now. Let me get a better picture

That is the opposite. Somebody either mis-typed or did not know. The Haddoni does not have spots while Gigantea does have verrucae.

Darn it. That's fine. It does look quite green so it's fine.

Gigantea also don’t have pink lipstick (the area around the mouth).

Curious to know - Are gigantea tentacles longer than haddoni? Always seems that way in videos and pictures

 

[OrionN]

Healthy Gigantea has longer tentacles. Stressed out Gigantea sometime has very short tentacles just like Haddoni. Gigantea tentacles are tapper to a point whole Haddoni has blunted tentacles. This can help differentiate the two

100% Haddoni..a nice one at that.
