Be advised that this species is notoriously difficult to acclimate to captivity. Should not be attempted lightly, but these are fabulous looking specimens that are rarely seen.
Tony, I thought for sure you'd snatch that blue Gigantea up. Too bad you don't have the space! I know you've been looking hard for rarer carpets.

Oh I wasn't saying they were Haddoni, if that's how it came across. I was just saying, it would be super if I could find a nice healthy Haddoni. I would never try a Gigantea... I've read way too many horror stories and not enough success stories That and I don't have nearly enough experience with different species of anemones !
