What color do these guys come in? I see tan, blue and green?

Also, where do they like to attach to? Are they like haddonis and like the sand or do they like rocks?

Do they like high flow or lower flow?

FYI, If you have at&t uverse, channel 2500 has some coral reef previews and there is a red s. gigantea hosting some true percs.

The pics are from RAV2 and Wilkersons Clownfish book. I would like to see a good pic of a red gig too. The only ones I can find sure look like haddoni.

I have spoken to this blogger several times and he says that he often sees red gigantea (and what he beleives to be haddoni/gigantae hybrids). If you read his blogs he definently is a good identifier of anemones and corals but this one just looks like a haddoni to me..

There are at least two distinct shades of blue giganteas. A navy color and a turquoise. :)

All I am going to say is red Giganteas do not exist.....now until someone post a picture of one that is not photoshoped they just don't exist. The reason I am saying this is so someone can prove me wrong :)... I have many books and I have searched every possable web page and nothing in red. So until someone proves me wrong then I am 100% right.....post away everyone
