Alright, so I won't win, but what the heck. Our purple Gig is 1' when curled up, more so when totally laid flat..

Great looking Haddoni btw... love the color.

Thanks guys this is a beauty and been healthy ...
Yes that clown is a mcclouchi ..I initially had a pair but lost the male when moving tanks ..big loss !!!! This is meanest clown fish I had .. I also have a premium Picasso in this tank and a sunburst BtA . Mcclouch won't even let Picasso clown to get close to none of the anemones . She dominates both anemones

Who's selling what? I think I am missing something.

These carpets looking stunning nonetheless. My old gig that was approaching 16" when fully opened, found a new home in a 360 gallon tank. I'm hoping it'll grow a lot larger than when I had it.

no sales here, probably a typing mistake on lucky's part (i think he meant "glows").

Your nem is still growing and looking good in the 360 - you can see it in the background in this shot.

Thanks for sharing. The tank looks great! I love the lookdowns--obviously a large tank when those don't look cramped. I am so happy the nem has a home where it can streeeetch out.

Mine certainly won't be the largest at 18 to 20 inches, but he is still growing. When I got him about 2 years ago, he was only about 5 to 6 inches. The below pic was taken in his current home, a 180 gallon tank
