These are awesome gigs. But I have to ask, where is everyone finding these gigs? This year especially if seems to be rare to find them.

my lfs which i frequent weekly got 7 small ones in a few weeks ago. I purchased a purple and blue one as they were selling for a good price and appeared healthy. Blue one didnt make it unfortunately even with 10 days cipro. They all sold within a week. I asked them to get me another blue or green if they can but i have a feeling i wont be seeing another for a while as they are hard to find.

What store is this, may I ask?
 
Here is one i got a week ago finishing up qt. Hopefully he lives and colors up nicely, his outer tentacles have a purplish pink color to the tips. It deflated first night and seems to have stabilized out. Time will tell.

After a month and a half the male storm finally uses the gig, hopefully the female follows soon
