Gigantea Vs. Haddoni

[mattfrancis]

I'm really interested in getting a carpet anemone. But I'm a little confused about which of these two to get. I've attempted to do research on them but no one really has a good comparison chart for the two. So I figured I'd ask.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Stichodactyla Haddoni (Haddon'd (Saddle Carpet) Sea Anemone) and Stichodacyla Gigantea (Gigantic (Giatn Carpet) Sea Anemone)?

i have an S.Haddoni anemone and its not really anything special.
i think the gigantica is easier to keep because they are more tolerant of changes in salinity, temperature, and pH cause they live closer to shore, which also means they need really strong lighting. unless u have metal halides or really strong T-5 lighting i would get one. i had my carpet anemone under florescent lighting and it didnt do to bad. i also think giganticas are much nicer! feed it silver sides twice a week and u will be good!
