Default My New Carpets

Just got these in yesterday with the shipment.
They were supposed to be medium size..I dunno they look pretty darn big to me.
They are however, gorgeous.

Whooaaa.. nice!! Are you going to be bringing these in regularly?? Man, I would setup a species only if I could find a healthy haddoni. Two clowns and one anemone is sounding very nice to me right now.

because of the species and size, I don't really have the space to hold these for sale.
However, if someone wanted to pre - order, I would be able to bring it in for them.

These are gigantea carpets not haddoni. I'm certain - although a close-up photo of the verrucae would confirm the ID if anyone is skeptical.

Had I the space I would snap up the blue one immediately. (I already have a green one ).

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 !
