Diver's Den anemones...edit - what do I treat it with?

[Sugar Magnolia]

I'm really interested in buying this Macrodactyla doreensis.

I kept an LTA successfully many years ago but sold it when I transferred tanks. I'd like to know how well these guys ship, and can I expect to receive a very healthy anemone?

Thanks for any feedback or comments!

I would have to say that 99% of the time you get very healthy anemones from divers den. If your tank is ready for it go for it.

I had a good experience from DD with a RBTA, but shipping is hard on them.

Yes, the tank is over 2 years old and I have 6x39W t5 lighting. I just need to add just a tad more sand to the area where I think it'll be the most comfortable. I also have a lower flow Koralia I can switch out for the larger one currently running.

Well, I just ordered it so hopefully it'll arrive healthy. :crosses fingers:

My metallic green arrived roughed up from divers den, just be ready to treat and get him cleaned up. Week later, looking good.

What did you treat it with and how? Thanks!

I have a small tank I can put it in but I have no idea what I need to treat it with.

Read the sticky on cipro treatment.

Thanks!

I thought I'd update this thread with a picture of the LTA. It took a couple of days for it to plant it's foot, but it has now settled and is looking beautiful.

I am glad that no treatment was needed. Very nice anemone
