H. Magnifica; past 6 month point looks good

[tylorarm]

Thought I'd update my H. Magnifica I purchased a little more than six months ago. Has grown from around 5" to current size.

Here's a picture that's about a month old, shows some growth.

awesome! did you buy it online or LFS? I think buying smaller mags is the way to go and far less shipping stress

I bought at LFS called Aquarium Concepts. Looked pretty healthy. It deflated every day for the first month then pulled through. It hasn't deflated now in a few months now so I'm optimistic. I feed it once or twice a week, primarily krill. I'm sure it picks up some fish food as well, as i feed pretty heavily.

I'd love to get one with a bright crimson or purple base, but i think healthy is most important. I didn't feed at all for the first couple weeks, on the advice of shutiny (reefcentral name).

Looks to be perfectly healthy. You wrote: "Has grown from around 5" to current size." About how many inches across is it now?

 

[tylorarm]

I'd say about 14"

 

[garygb]

Wow, it's more than doubled. Looks great. Keep up the good work and post a few pics often.

Yes, in area it's many times bigger. The clowns used to look huge in the anem and almost killed it with their love. Note the third clown is odd man out and has to setttle for the goniopora during the day but hides under the H. Magnifica at night (even at night he's not allowed inside).
