2 Mags? Can they Touch?

[jwilliams860]

Ok I have a 120 gallon aquarium, I have a smaller H.Mag, that I rescued from the LFS about 6 months ago, he was badly bleached and the LFS thought it was a long tentacle, but I knew better and for $15 I thought I would try a rescue, he has gone through its ups and downs, but in the past month has finally felt sticky to the touch, actively eating when food is offered bout every 2 weeks, and has been in the same spot on the overflow for about 5 months so far, so that one is doing fine , still bleached but is regaing some of his color.About 3 weeks ago, I came across another H.Mag someone had bought for their tank, and was really looking sad, he gave it to me and for a week looked pretty good, and was stuck to the back wall of the tank.Well this past week, he has really thinned out, looks deflated, mouth open, body sagging.Now the other one I have went through this phase to and I know how finicky anemones and these can be in general, so I tried moving him to a rock right under the 250 Lumenbright, and he stayed for about a day and then he started floating round the tank, stinging my PLTA, so I moved hm back to the rock he quickly attached his foot and over night released and moved to the bottom of the tank, he always looks better at night so I left him on the bottom to see what he would do, I dont think that it is dying yet, maybe still acclimating, not sure, but today when I got home from work he had moved across the tank, and onto the same overflow as my existing H.Mag, he is about 4 inches below this one, so I assume these H.Mags think alike, ha.The newer Mag, is about 10" when open.


So for the question, Can 2 H.Mags, get along, if they are touching? or will they sting each other? I hate to move the new one if he has finally found a happy place, and definatly dont want to disturb the existing one, because he has been doing fine.

yes

I can't speak for Mags, but I have had LTAs, Haddonis, and BTAs all touching each other at one time or another without any issues at all.

To be clear -- it was Haddoni touching a Haddoni, then an LTA touching another LTA, etc.

Awesome, I figured it would be ok, and as time progresses I see him slowly making his way up the overflow towards the other.

Thanks again

I would think that they are fine touching, especially seeing how close and condensed they are together in the wild... Do you have any pictures?

yes, most certainly.
