Green Gig experiance

[OrionN]

I’ve had mine for a few years though, maybe my water is toxic lol. All 7 are from 2013-2015

Don’t mean to get the thread off topic, but one of my new gig has a mutant tentacle.

7 arms morph into one base really strange

OK. I have perfect water because none of mine have mutant tentacles.

I took a closer look at all 7 of mine today. They all have a few fork tents, some have only a few, others have many, but all 7 of mine I can find double headed tents.

I did some inspection last night as well... and sure enough I found a total of two tents that have this as well!

Wow, Thanks Guys. This really is very informative. I can confirm the tentacles on mine look like the ones above. I willput a picture below but I am terrible with pictures! My Gig is still on tiny and maybe that's why I cant see the verrucae clearly.
Its a weird color though.

Well. I lied. I was out of town and just got back home today. Looking at my Gigantea I detected multiple split tentacles. I looked at my picture files and see if I can find the pictures of my abnormal Gigantea tentacles, but so far I was not able to. It was the pictures of two tentacles fused and only have 1 head. I will keep on looking. How ever, I did see pictures of my wear Magnifica tentacles pictures. Two tentacles with NO tip. They fused at the tip, so no tip at all. That is really strange. I like to keep strange pictures, so here it is:

That is kind of crazy! ^^

I have no basis for this statement, but what if these type tentacles are due to poor re generation. For example a fish swims by and touches them and then some of the tips get pulled of the nem as the fish escapes. This regeneration response can lead to bifurcating tentacle tips

I have no issues with this! Please post on.

How long has this been under whites? Leds? A little more detail would be great. I am super interested!

Not trying to hijack the thread but @rds85 I bought the orphek lenses based on your pics. It must be my phone. Cause my green gig doesn't come out as well as yours lol.

I need to learn your technique. I've had home about 1.5 months now and he stated about racquetball sizeb to about softball size today. I fed him twice a week raw shrimp soaked in aa's with my mag.

But my mag pic is basically washed out (gig is on the other side of the mag, pics taken 2 mins apart

I have him right under a Radion 4 Pro 100% all channels for about 2 months.

You can play with camera settings in your phone while using the lens and see what works best. I feel it is hard to give an exact recommendation because you might have a different lighting source for your tank.

You do not happen to have before and after photos do you? Also I am shocked 2 months caused such a big change. I am still in amazement. Was this lighting spectrum switch intentional for this purpose?

Some sort of " Storm Clown" . I am going off of memory here... so I might be wrong.

Thank you. I'll have to give that a try. I have the galaxy note 10+, unsure if anyone uses this phone or has any setting recommendations. I have zero photography abilities lol.

I know my gig is under diy chips/t5 retro kit. I'm using custom lumia 5.2 chips and my gig is getting right at 450 par. I would guess the color of my tank at mid noon is pretty close to a 20k radium and he's turning from lime green to yellow almost.
