Help ID this carpet

[secret_reefer337]

Help me ID this carpet anemone. Bought it online from one of the sponsor vendor here as “Yellow Haddoni”. Definitely not a haddoni, but what is…

It has a sticky tents. Does this looks like a Gigantea? Or something else?

The foot makes me think it is a Haddoni, but looks bleached in my opinion.

Might want to try and ask someone with a lot more knowledge on this @OrionN

Looks like either haddoni or green carpet

This is a gigantea. Verrucae on the column and the tentacle distribution are telling, for me.

Looks like he’ll need cipro as well.

Edit: I also hail from Vacaville

I was leaning towards Gig but having a second thought.

Got it this morning and just did the first cipro treatment earlier tonight.

Hey, nice to meet another reefer from Vacaville!

100% gigantea. Good luck with treatment! And keep us posted.

I will, good or bad, I will post it.

Thanks!

That is a not too healthy Gigantea. Good luck. The pastel coloration of the foot and the verrucae, and the distribution of the tentacles help ID this anemone.
best of luck.

Ihope I can make it to color up and survive. Wondering if it is a green or a cream/brown one.

i will try to get hold of the seller tomorrow.

thanks!

It could end up being yellow, it’s hard to tell from the photos. It’s good you started Ciprofloxacin treatment already. Please keep us updated with your progress!

Did you get this from Reef Exclusive? I saw a yellow one on there and thought it was a gig not a haddoni and was tempted to buy it. Hope treatment goes well

Yes. I did mentioned it to the owner that the photo they have is a gig and actually from PEA but he said it is just for representation of color and the photos on their website are all from the internet. Knowing the scenario I still order one hoping I will get a good nem. Actually, I have no problem getting a gig instead of haddoni.

Unfortunately, true yellow gigantea don’t exist. Typically, those that appear to be yellow are actually green gigantea that have bleached.

 

[secret_reefer337]

Sad update. After 2 weeks of struggle the anemone decided to say goodbye. No viewing was set since the nem is unrecognizable.

Moving on with reefing life.

That’s a bummer, I was thinking about ordering from them, but holding off until I heard how your nem fared.
