I don't think it's Gigas either. I recall purchasing it as a Maxima. On another forum - some say it's a Durasa - I'm not convinced of that either. lol

Eh....I'm just enjoying the view. ;)

Thumbs up Red Mini Carpet (Stitchodactyla Tapetum - S. Tapetum) Hitchiker.....

I found this in my archives. I found it amusing that this S. Tapetum anemone 'hitchhiked' on the shell/back of a snail for the better portion of a week. I found the pair everywhere in my display....
