Gigantea

It appears to me that I see some Verrucae on the oral disc in the 3rd picture. I am leaning towards a Gig.

stone.david · 02/05/2010, 11:13 PM

is there anyway to be sure? I've read a lot of different ways to i'd'... now im just confused! lol

dalilgriffith · 02/05/2010, 11:34 PM

it doesn't look happy, try placing it on the rocks.

stone.david · 02/05/2010, 11:45 PM

Move it even though its only been in the tank for 3 hours? Those photos were taken only after the an hour of being in...

Gig. Spots darken as they settle in, color up, become "happy". Fight the urge to change too much to make it "happier." Keep your SG steady.

+1. Gigantea

It is a Gigantea. It should be place on the rock with high flow.

shutiny · 02/06/2010, 10:58 AM

Put some large rocks around it, and it'll make its way up the rock with out being disturbed.

dalilgriffith · 02/06/2010, 11:39 AM

It will not bury in the sand, it needs intense ammounts of light so itll probably climb to the top looking for light and flow.

Hey Scott, I am well and thanks for asking. How is the project going?

stone.david · 02/06/2010, 02:38 PM

Lighting: 6x54w t5's with reflectors
Flow: 2 Tunzee wave boxes & 4 tunzee 6055s

Do you think thats enough?

this is me · 02/06/2010, 03:34 PM

It's a gigantea.
People who have success with keeping gigantea will say that your lighting is not enough.
Wish you the best of luck with it. Keep us updated.

is there a way to distinguish between gig and atlantic? do atlantics have verrucae?
