I can definitely attest that gig losses are very high despite quarantining and antibiotics. Very sensitive animalTo be clear the recommendation is not to feed in the first 6 months of captivity, then a lot of people recommend feeding only cooked food after. He mentioned Ali as the "gigfather", so I'm guessing that's Ali that will be on the Reefbum podcast tonight, maybe we can ask questions in the YouTube chat?
Despite this, it's sad to see the number of nems killed in the thread. Then some random typical forum arguing later lol.
Show Off - Billy's Stichodactyla Gigantea Thread 2
Hi everyone, Relocating my scrapbook thread to a site that isn't blatantly homophobic and greedy. I started this thread to document my journey attempting to collect & keep stichodactyla gigantea carpet anemones. My goal for this endeavor is to collect 4-5 colors of gigantea and keep them...humble.fish
Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

This was an interesting read.
I too think I'm in the bad batch of rods category and this thread kinda solidifies that a bit for me.
About 2 months ago I got an awesome supernova nem from @RandyC and it was doing amazing. Decided to feed it something special so I picked up some rods which I normally don’t feed often. Fed than nem real fat and for the last 2 weeks it’s just been off.
Stopped feeding/doubled up the tank maintenance and it’s feeling a bit better now. But what was odd is I could not find anything wrong with the system and after reading these comments the rods went quickly into the trash bin.
