Big day on LiveAquaria DD for anemone folks

It is really hard to tell for sure what color a mag is going to end up being in your tank, under your lighting. I'd not be surprised if both of these were light mauve - though the orange column ought to be quite nice.
 
You think? I'm having a hard time telling what the true color is. If purplish-mauve with light tips, I thought those are common, like the tan ones.

D; I've seen many colors (I know you have too) but any sort of deep purple (if that isn't actinics screwing me up) is very rare. I had a sebae that color; never a Mag. I do know what you are referencing with the mauves but I'd be a little upset if it came in light purple considering the pic.

No sir Minh I checked in at 345 ish and they weren't there yet and were gone at 530 our time. Usually IME if you get the posted email u aren't gonna get the rares. [I got a beautiful 1" black tang from a different online retailer. Wild size. There's another in Houston if you have a need(way off topic :p)]

I'm not sure if it is rare or not, but I halve one that is a similar coloration...
 
IMO, it's the column color you go for, and the tentacles are just a bonus. Still looking for a magenta column Mag, without luck. iBluwater always seems to have them, but at $250 plus, aint happening.

I believe that may be the key to always having them in stock.
 
any other sellers able to get omans, gasters, chrysopterus, leucokranos? ... And who knows what else will come in...

Let me know!

Deanglr,

I know of at least 5 or 6 retailers that can get leucokranos gaster blue stripes and madagascar.


Omans the only one i know of it ibluewater
 
Lets switch gears.........

This was sold as a Gigantae in around 3-4 minutes, literally. I had it rdy to be paid for at a whopping $700, and I just kept going to the picture and back to the cart, till it was too late. It's got some characteristics that scream Haddoni but also a few outliers that are hard to reconcile. Plus it's a LA buy and normally their id's are solid.

Discuss.

I have keep my share of carpets that have characteristics of both Gigantea and Haddoni. Just from that picture alone, it is a Haddoni. If it is mine and after it settle in the tank for several months, I may change my mind but this is highly unlikely.

Here's the update you've been waiting for. I received the mag and put it straight in to qt with water from the dt. I don't know how else to describe it, but after keeping nems for a long time you know when they don't look right. I can only describe it as not "firm" enough (when they have that wrinkly look underneath). So I opted to start a cipro treatment the very first night. Sure enough it released the black balls we've all seen before. I completed treatment and left it in qt for about a week just to observe it. Reason for this is the water change water I was using came from a tank with a Gigantea in it and I wanted to see if there was going to be any adverse reaction. So far they're doing well together and I haven't noticed any change in appearance to either one of them. So here's the pics. First one is when I got it, second one is recent (sorry the only camera I have is an iphone). It's hard to get a pic of the column, but I'll try later on. I'm really not sure what color it's going to end up (the column) because it's red, but I also see streaks of brown/beige at times.

Well well, look what we have here! People who buy from DD actually do post on RC! LOL.

Thanks for the update. It's looking good. I'm glad you opted for treatment. I can honestly say it's the breakthrough we've all been waiting for. Thanks again, Minh!
 
Did you all see the beautiful pic on FB today? Hope someone here gets it... I've always wanted one with the red/maroon column...
