My LFS had some nice gigs!

[Nemguy123]

Got these 2 gigs for $100 ones yellow so probably a bleached green and the other is a brown/green with some red on the tips of the tentacles I was unsure if the green/brown one was a gig or not but it's looking to be one

 

[jsker]

That is a deal, big too.

 

[Nemguy123]

Thanks and yeah the yellow is at a foot already and it just started inflating I can't imagine how big he's gunna be once he gets through cipro and acclimates to my tank
Yesterday

and today

 

[jsker]

I am guessing you have a good size tank, that would fill what little space if have left on the 72 gal I have

 

[Nemguy123]

I have a bunch of tanks lol haven't decided what tank to put him in though

 

[Nemguy123]

Gigs are looking good so far

 

[SantaMonicaHelp]

What a well-made purchase! These Gigs look huge. What tanks are you doing to put them in, or do you plan to put the two of them in different tanks?

[Nemguy123]

Thanks and they are both doing good one is still in treatment one did not receive treatment the one out still is getting used to kessil is only fully inflated under moonlight here's updated pics

and I am unsure for a tank for the large gig I might add him to my hex smaller one is I'm a 30 gal separation tank for now

 

[SantaMonicaHelp]

Sounds good. I can't fathom you butting the large gig into the 30 along side the smaller (but still huge) gig. What tank is the larger gig being treated in?
Keep me updated

[Nemguy123]

Treated in 10 gallon no he's doing great in a 150 started at top the he moved to bottom same with the medium brown gig both are eating and yellow hasn't shown any more zoo growth

All doing good on these gigs I lost a few due to bad cipro from eBay I only use the cipro from my pharmacist now here's some pics not all are happy with flow as I'm picking up and moving them into a 300 gallon tomorrow can't wait for that difficult tank pick up lol

@Nemguy123 How many gigs do you own in total? I overlooked that you may have owned gigs prior to this post. Do you have any Clownfish? You got to get some Clownfish for those gigs.

I wish I had your kahunas. That's a LOT of gig to try to acclimate at one time. I don't know how you do it, I couldn't.

Twelve gigs?! Wow that's a lot. Now I understand why you can many tanks . What makes you attracted to gigs? I've never owned a single one, so I'm curious.

[Nemguy123]

I'm my opinion they are one of the most difficult anemones to establish I guess I like the challenge lol

 

[SantaMonicaHelp]

It's interesting to look at the large varieties of anemones. Such as the Xenia (coral) can be used to shelter Clownfish in symbiosis.

I was attracted to them when I first saw a healthy one in still water. When in prime health, all their tentacles wiggle every which way in all directions, nonstop. The ironic thing is, they need such high flow to get into this type of healthy condition, you never see it unless the pumps all shut off, typically never.
