Any idea why my mag has what I think is an unusual amount of branching going on with its tentacles?

Really, even like those two tentacles at 11 o'clock, with like 5 or 6 branches each? Huh, I didn't know that. Thanks.

Yea I used to have an all purple one like that. When the tentacles grew out, the forked ones looked kinda like reindeer antlers.

Wonder if it's a captivity thing... never see branched tentacles in the dive shots.
 
Can't say for sure. But the one I got came straight to the store via transatlantic shipment, so it was only in their store about 5 days before I got it.
 
Oh so yours actually came in like that. Mine did not... these developed over time in my tank.
 
My Mag does the same thing. Only ever noticed one split but never really thought about it. I'll check to see if it has multiple tips.

Yeah, a split wouldn't surprise me, but 5 tips from one tentacle caught my eye!
