What do you guys think, is it brown or red? Worth a gamble?

2 red, 2 brown. And the red looks to be pretty red! I'm scared to death of it dying in shipping, or I'd have already snatched one from you.

But... The shipping is almost always what kills them, so I wouldn't do it unless you are already prepared to see it die. If you've got $100 to spare without batting an eyelash, give it a shot.

Well I could do the 3hr round trip, but am worried when I turn up it'll be brown

If you have a appropriate set up for it. I would take the 3 hrs round trip to look at the anemones. I think they will be nice anemones. The colors looks natural. I have seen all the H magnifica with those colors. At least one will have color tips which is difficult to find. These are finicky and difficult anemones to keep. Good luck

I was looking as some of your previous posts. I think adding a second Magnifica can be risky to an establish anemone. I have lost beautiful magnifica to a newly arrive sick anemone before. If you can, quarantine the new anemones before adding it to your system. I know this is not always possible. Good luck

as mentioned previously, they are hard to acclimatise and i've tried a number of times with h mags without succeeding.
