Finally found myself a H. Mag

Starting to keep a close eye on it now. Last night it deflated and looked great all day today but now I see that it's looking like it's going to deflate again. May have to start treatment

You got to do water change with each deflation, before he start to inflate again. Anemone deflates to purge themselves of bad stuff in them, most likely infection. If you we don't change the water (like in the ocean the waves carry the water away) their deflation is no good since they inflate and take in the stuff they wanted to purge back in.
I would start treatment, and make sure every time he deflates you change the water, and add antibiotic before he inflates if you can.

That's exactly what I did yesterday. It looked pretty bad so I did a 100% water change well more like 90% I don't like to leave the nem out of water and added some cipro.

EDIT: this morning it's back to normal so I'm assuming he took in some antibiotics. I didn't see any solid discharge like I did with my gig when I treated it, then again I believe my gig was also in worse condition.

Good luck with him. Post update pictures. It helps to see how he is doing

Here we are as of this morning before the lights come on.

Looking good. You should increase circulation/water movement IMO unless you turn pump off for picture

I have the pump facing down because the foot looks attached but it ends up sliding on the glass now

Point the PH to the surface or to the wall

Nem has been doing great! It hasn't deflated for a few days now and mouth seems to always be closed when I look at it, except after I do the daily WC. I'll be approaching the 7 day mark soon and will see how it does without treatment then into the DT!

Some updated pictures from today.
