New Green Gig

[pfan151]

Got this in today. It's a little bleached but not too bad. It's about 10-12 inches. The only thing that concerns me a little is that it looks a little flat to me. I'm going to give it a day before I decide on treatment.

It had only been the tank for about an hour in the above pics. This is a video after it had been in for a few hours. Once it attatched I cranked up the flow and I think it looks pretty good. And before anyone makes fun of me, it is my sons tank and yes, that is a plastic castle next to the anemone.

Well the next morning it looked bad so it went into treatment. The morning after the first treatment it was really bad, mouth was inverted and I thought it was a goner for sure. Surprisingly, when I got home from work it looked pretty decent. Since then it has looked pretty healthy aside from its mouth being more open then I would like. 3rd pic shows it. It also seems to bring some of its tentacles into its mouth for some reason. Any thoughts on the chances for this one to make it?

I really like the blue base on it. Hoping it survives. Looking good in treatment but it is actually eating some of its tentacles for some reason.

That will be a stunner, if it makes it.

Where in Florida are you located? Did you pick it up at a lfs? I've been scanning for a nice gig in the Orlando / cocoa area... Feel free to pm, if you don't want to post it opening.

Agreed, beautiful gig you have there, nice greens are my favorite. I hope it does well in treatment for you. :)

You will hardly ever see the foot of Gigantea. They do have very nice color foot.

Looks like it won't matter. This morning it developed a hole in the disk that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Looks like it's toast.
