I believe that is a helianthus. Naturally, cell phones kill the coloration, but I bet those verracue are brownish in person. Additionally, the shape of the tentacles just reminds me of the one I had before it became a smoothie.

Yes I passed on it. It didn't scream Gig to me. Thanks.

Well it looked good for a gig. But when something is too good to be true it probably is. Here's a goner gig I saw 2 weeks ago.

it is super unfortunate. I actually took this picture with the intent of starting a Gigantea Selection Guide thread and use this as an example of a gig that almost all buyers should stay away from; then include a couple of gigs that should be ok in one's aquarium.

Now that right there is an excellent idea!

Great Idea i think if you do this it will become sticky and then maybe you can expand and do it with other nem species too.
