Could This be a Magnifica?

[M Woodhill]

BTW, for anyone that wants it, this is the store that has it in:

Tropical Island Aquarium
2112 Deer Park Avenue
Deer Park, NY, 11729
(631) 667 0795

Disclaimer: I don't work for them nor have I ever been there, I just figure I give everyone a fair chance to get such a beauty that is not commonly seen in this color morph.

If you get it, let us know how it's doing!

I just called :bounce1::bounce1: but didn't pull the trigger. gotta check in person to make the final decision it's a mag or crispa

basically i agree its a mag

Is that a purple tip Gigantea next to it (or near it) in the picture there?

If you are refering to the picture I posted, that is a blue gigantea - LED lighting always distorts the crap out of blues.

Well hell, just called to see if they would ship it all the way back here to Oregon. No go.

dude, :fun2::fun2:

i guess you can simply drive down to socal :bounce3: they have lots of good choices there

 

[OrionN]

I called and see if they shipped but no go. I would get both of the anemones in picture. It looks like a fairly healthy Magnifica and a very healthy Gigantea to me.

 

[OrionN]

Now I see. The Gigantea and the mag in the last picture is not from the fish store. I use my phone to read these so I did not get to see the whole page

I want to say BTA on that one, definitely not a mag though.

+1

How did you reach that conclusion? please share.

 

[OrionN]

IMO, the anemone Pinkskunk posted can be either a BTA or a Magnifica. Tentacle shapes can be very misleading especially when they are stressed.
Sometime i can tell if there is fain a white color just below the tips or bubble just below the tip. Other than that I need to see the mouth. BTA will have white lines radiated from he mouth.
As the picture about, there is no way to tell for sure. Maybe 60/40 lean toward BTA vs Magnifica. I do not think that anemone can be anything else other than Mag or BTA (it has purple column)

Interesting....

 

[M Woodhill]

i guess they just found the sweet spot in the sea

here's mine in ht. seems to continue to improve. its base is orange and purple. bi-color possibly indicates a split

 

[SDguy]

I find the tentacle shape particularly interesting for a mag. Still looks like a giant crisps to me

it's sure a mag :bounce2::bounce2:

and its similarity in the wild

the two looks quite identical from base to tentacles

 

[SDguy]

Yes and quite beautiful! !

i guess one collector just found the sweet spot
