The gigas in the first set of pictures, appears bleached out to me.

A couple months of proper calcium levels and some TLC, she'll be loooking good.

When I got my larger gigas, it looked like yours if not worse, Now look at my picture.

I have a smaller ORA gigas next to it.





EDIT: Here's a video clip of my clown in my gigas...

Anyone else with a gigas out here. I have heard that theres not alot out there. I must have just got lucky. I had the choice of a couple different kinds but I didnt think the others would survive so I grabbed the gigas. It doesnt have all the colors of other clams but I luv it.
