Minh's Purple Gigantea

[OrionN]

I bet you guys (and gals) never seen these tentacles before, two tentacles that merger together and form one tip. It must been injured and heal abnormal. In many years of reefkeeping and anemone keeping I have never seen one like tin the picture below

I got the opportunity to get another Gigantea from Aquarium Master. It is a yellow small Gigantea that likely will turn brown when he recover. Bleached but otherwise seem OK. He was in the same shipment as the purple one so he have been at Eric's house for several months. I put him in my 65 g tank in my office.

I feed the yellow Gigantea some salmon today, he ate it but a little slow. I have to protect him from having the clowns stealing the food. The gigantic Crocea I have had for 10+ years from ORA via LFS here in Corpus. Got him when he was just over 1 inch long.
The two pictures below on before and one after I fed him.







My purple Gigantea is doing really well. I have not feed him for a while because he is too big for the tank, and I cannot move him to his permanent home yet. Picture today

After about 4 months under my care, this Gigantea is really doing well in a small reef. Only 30 g cube. I have also change clown fish. A full grown breeding pair of Onyx Percula in this Aquarium. Other fish included a Male Green Mandarin and a Marine Beta. The Gigantea is all fold up but even in this state, he is at least 14 inches in diameter. I have 3 clams in this tank and a dozen SPS frags and Red Sea Pompom Xenia.
