Show off your S. gigantea
We have threads about everything but I don't think we ever have a thread for us to display this rare (at least in aquarium) beautiful and hard to keep magnificent animal.
I would love to see all the Gigantea of Reefcentral. I hope at least most would show in this thread. A little about the animal, the aquarium, and how long you have had him would be very informative and helpful. Let's see them.

My holy grail gigantea was purchased in February from a fellow reefer. It's in a 60 gallon cube, with 2 AI Sol led units. It's been under the Sols since about April, prior to that, a 250 metal halide.
It seems to prefer lower flow, the MP40 in the tank is set towards the middle of the range, reef crest. The return is a mag 5. |

Nice anemone. What kind of light, temp, and circulation do you have him in? TIA

Reef1589. Did you steal my anemone and clowns? Seriously, I was looking at this thread again, and wow. They look the same as mine!! Hahahaha
All these giganteas drive me insane. What a beautiful animal it is! I love the yellow in yours Minh, sort of reminds me of raspberry cheesecake for some reason... Gary, I'm still jealous |

really love your gig, Deepsea, i don't usually seem blue ones that are 100% blue, from tip to bottom of tentacles ... usually, the blue gigs (like mine) are just blue at the tip and tan at the bottom!
