You're correct, my apologies I did believe you were someone else. But again that's a beautiful gig. How's it doing today?You have me confused with someone else here on R2R. I've never been a supplier of anemones (well, other than rainbow BTA's locally), just a hobbyist who's addicted to them.
No worries my friend! I wish I had the connections to consistently get nice gigs/mags. However, I'd be a poor businessman, as I'd wind up keeping them all for myself.......my preciousssssss....
This green looked really good last night just before lights out. This morning, lights still off, it had balled up similar to a Mag, still in one piece, still firmly attached, still inflated and no gaping! All good signs this early in.
Pics from last night, about 8 hours into treatment.
I am treating with Cipro and Iodine, just to be sure. My last blue gig looked really good upon arrival, and I didn't treat it. I quarantined for a few days then put it in the display. After a few weeks, it started showing signs of decline so I started quarantine and cipro then. It didn't recover. I still feel guilty about that one. I had waited so long for this one. It was beautiful and my lackadaisical attitude killed it. I won't make that same mistake again with any GIg I purchase.

Sounds like a great approach--I've mentioned this before--but I've never had negative affects from doing a treatment on a gig that simply looked stressed and wasn't struggling (in obvious need of antibiotic treatment).
Yours looks a bit "bald" but as long as it remains inflated, I think it'll be fine. The green one that I picked up last year looked a lot like yours. It was closer to tennis ball yellow and the antibiotic treatment caused it to bleach (as expected) but now it's turned more of a neon green.

Luck be a lady on this next find! These are coming Tuesday. Extra quarantine tanks being prepared today! The green still has 4 more days treatment.
Pics from the seller under white and blue led. Look at those colors under blue! I won't see that until near the end of my light cycle as I run full spectrum most of the cycle, but it will, hopefully, be a nice sight before lights out!
As with the green, fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for successful shipping and treatment!

Question for everyone regarding treatment for the gigs coming tomorrow:
The seller has been prophylacticly treating them for the past 4 days with a lower dose of cipro than OrionN's protocol.
As of this morning, they look really good. Pics attached. Should I still go ahead and quarantine and continue treatment for 3 more days, continue for the full 7 days, or give them a trial in the main display and see how they do?

I would tend to treat it for a full treatment too. Partially treat anemone will not do well at all if relapse.
The little guys were added to the display last night. Video is of them at the time of addition. I left them on the mugs just in case I need to remove them quickly should a concern arise. I'll give them a few days/week then remove them from the mug and place them where I hope they will be happy.
