I won't forget you this time. To be honest, the purple one is more than what I want. My plan for this tank is SPS dominated. While I have a lot of sps space, the purple one is taking more space than I wanted. I will see if I can add more rock to the back and have more space for corals that way.
The good thing about these two is that they barely moved from the original spot I place them.

Here's an update of the duo. The colors are now a lot better than before. The purple regain all of its zoanthallae making it more brown in appearance.

Gorgeous carpets and the rest of the tank too! Do these not do well under LEDs (saw someone mention MH/T5 earlier)? Do they move at all or generally stay put? What are you feeding and how often? Stunners!

I'm not going to comment on the LED since I am MH/T5 biased.
I'm not a fan of feeding nems. They get what the clowns give them and what they can catch during my daily fish feeding. This is a comparison shot from last Nov(when first introduced to the tank) to now. You can see that they stay well put. November 2014 August 2015

How established was the reef before you added them? I'm assuming I'll need 6 months at least after reaching stable parameters.
Would you guys trust an online dealer or just local? Any cost expectations on a blue/purple? |

Impressive, I'm so tempted to go to MH but I want to give my ATI 24w 8 bulb a shot. Seems to be going well for now though. Awesome tank and love the gigs. I have a 10" purple that was bleached and a 5" that was bleached I'm trying to rescue. Going good so far but I noticed you said you prefer not to feed anemones? You don't feed your gigs at all? What benefit do you get from not feeding or is it just personal preference to keep nutrients down or worried about bad food? I also noticed you only have one pump for flow, is it an MP40 and no issues without foam guards? I have a 93 cube which my gigs reside and was thinking of adding a gyre 130 to supplement with my mp40 but worry about no foam guards.

I special ordered through a very good LFS. He sent me pics from his supplier prior shipping to the store. I was out of town that week but he texted me a couple pics of the giganteas when the they arrived. I only agreed to let the supplier ship to him after receiving the pictures from the supplier and saw how healthy they were. Quote:
I'm using 2xMP40QD running at max power in long pulse. The return also provide another 600GPH or so. I do not have issue with critters running into the pump. The snails sometime goes in front but comes right back out. I do not feed pause the pump so there's no fish can get in it.

The green seem to be a lot smaller than the purple one. What ever happened to the tear on the column of the purple one?

Minh,
Thanks for noticing that. Shortly after my last update, the green went into a shrinking state. At one point, I thought I was going to lose it. It was strange since it has been happy and grown for over a year. I didn't know what to do and did not do anything but just watched. my purple one did not seem to be affected. This makes me wonder how many of those small giganteas are actually a monster at one point. I don't know what happen to the pedal laceration on the purple one. It's still a monster and I haven't tried to find it.
