Mag? Id ASAP please...

[geckoejon]

Hello, saw this in a lfs and it just arrived... It looks like it's staying inflated.

It's labeled as a riteri/ mag... May I have a positive id?

I'm rarely on this side of town, and thought about grabbing it for the 220g.

Another pic... What a pita trying to post pics with a phone! Lol

If that is a mag, its an interesting color.

I was thinking the same thing when I looked at it before it almost looks like a long tentacle any way you can get a picture of the underneath the disc and from the top?

I'm not an expert, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself will chime in to confirm or toss out what I say. But mags come in all colors. The tips of the tentacles coupled with the tentacle distribution makes me think it is a mag. However, in the second picture the tentacles look a little deflated. I have never seen a mag deflate its tips but keep its base intact, so I'm not sure.

The tents don't look like a lt to me... More like crispa tents, IMO. The entire middle around the mouth is tent free though... So, I'm not sure... I'm no expert either. Lol

Here is another pic from up top. The foot and underside of the petal are tan, if that helps...

[blackgate]

Yeah that looks like a mag to me as well. I saw one with that color near me and I still wish I would have got it to this day. BUY IT..........BUY IT NOW!

I was wondering if that was a chrysopterus.
Might be time for a roadtrip.

Well they were blue stripes, but when I called on the way there I found out someone had paid for them and put them on hold. At least that was only 15 minutes into the two-hour trip.
The quest continues...

Since they don't seem to ship well, I would prefer to get them from a LFS with the added bonus of seeing the fish before purchase. That being said, after missing out on this pair, I tried to order from Bluezoo later that day, but I couldn't add them to my cart even though it said they were in stock. And since I was a little concerned with trying to pair two "larger" size clowns, I didn't follow up with it.

LOL - My trip to pick up that gig from you was that long!!

jonathan,
Did you end up getting this Magnifica?
He is a beauty. If I had the chance, I would have bought him.
If you did, pictures please.

Minh,
Yes, I picked up the mag, and it's doing great! I'm glad I got it. I will put it back in my dt this weekend. I took it out to do a hypo salinity treatment for ich, and the 10 weeks is finally up! I'll take a few good pics once it's back in the dt.
