Recently, I friend send me the baby Purple Gigantea. He was small, about 1.5 inch, and is recovering from been bleached. Other than that he was fine and did not require treatment. I have been stuff him with food trying to get him to grow so he can host some nice clowns. He is much larger now, 5+ inches. Big enough to host a pair of WC Ocellaris without looking ridiculously small. Pictures time

That's awesome OrionN, great recovery! How quickly did he grow for you? What were you feeding him and how often?

I feed him chunk of seafood every other day. Pencil eraser size. I overfed one day and he deflated 2 night later cause my heart jumped to my throat, but re recovers without problem.

Gotcha, that's the plan I'll use. Thank you for your help with getting him better! He's doing much better now. Still very bleached but his color will return in time.
