S. gigantea at Petco

[erk]

Was just at Petco in Frisco and they had a green gigantea for $40. About 5" across. I was tempted to grab it, but don't have the space for it. It was in decent condition considering it was Petco. Little pale, but no gaping mouth from what I could see. Figured I'd post here to let anyone interested know.

Nice! Hope someone snags that

Just keep in mind the difference between the Atlantic carpet anemone (S. helianthus) and the S. gigantea. They look somewhat similar.

I just looked at some pictures of S. helianthus, and I can't tell you for sure if it was or wasn't one. I just know Petco labeled it as S. gigantea. First time I've ever seen Petco sell anything other than LTAs or Condys. Hopefully someone knowledgeable picks it up. That is why I didn't buy it. I have no experience with anemones at all.
