Its a good read.I can make more profiles of anemones if you request it.I can also help you source a Gigantea carpet in you want.But first you need to make sure you are capable of caring for the anemone and are able to provide its needs.

Im in Missouri and dont have one for sale.Remember this isnt a WBT forum.

Hey,
Thanks for your post.The anemone you have is a Haddoni Carpet,not a Gigantea Carpet.Gig's are harder to keep and dont ship very well.Much more demanding than anyother anemone beside the Ritteri.

I am keeping a healthy gig at this time . Looking for any information that I can find.
What others are doing to provide a healthy system.

What kind of set-up do you have it in? I have always wanted one.

A good system should have:

Strong alrenating flow
Strong Lighting
Strong Filtration
Good foot space

Thats a good idea of whats needed.But they are still very difficult to care for!!

I have had this Gigi for around 7 months and it came from a friend that had it for over a year. I will take a full size pic tomorrow, this is the only one I had right now. She sits under 2 mp40's on reef crest at full blast and under 400w 20k bulbs. She definitely loves the flow and I feed her silversides and big pieces of fresh shrimp.

My set up is a 60 x 36 x 16 reefflat.This tank has Gigantes.Two 400 watt mh with 20k radiums. Aslo 180 with hadoni's and bubbletips also with 400 watt mh radiums. Both systems tied into a 150 gal sump with a ETSS 1400 skimmer. I will try and post picks.
