I just got this Magnifica from Anemoneguy here on RC. I love the color. It is still a little stressed from travel, but improving all the time.
Under day light, 5000K light, it is very beautiful bright yellow tentacles. and under the usual reef light it is very beautiful green tentacles.
It is as beautiful as my very nice yellow tentacles I had, and lost many years ago.
I will use this thread to document the progress of this anemone. Thanks to Anemoneguy who let me buy this very beautiful anemone from him.
Last week, Anemoneguy send him on Thursday to hold at the FedEx office for me to pick up. I had a busy day but arrange to have 12-2 off so I can pick him up and get him into my QT tank set up at home. Instead of arriving to the FedEx office hand hold for pick up, they loaded on to one of the truck and send it on a merry rounds around the town. I was told to pick him up at about 7-8 PM (instead of 12 PM) when the truck get back to the FedEx office at the end of the day.:headwally::headwally:
I spend 2 hrs and got him diverted to my work and it got to me at 3:00 PM. I unpack him. He seem OK, but I cannot do anything until 7PM Friday so I put him back in the Styrofoam box.
When I got home Friday, the water was cloudy and a little smelly. I did a quick unpack, and rinsed him with DT water to get rid of everything I can and put him in my HP tank. He seem stressed but did not deflated after the initial deflation. Below are pictures in Friday, Sat, Sun and today. He is looking a lot better, not healthy by any mean but should recover fine. He is a little bleached also, but this should be no problem.
Very well pack by Anemoneguy. Too bad that FedEx cause him a little problem.
On arrival. Notice the triple bags, each separately tied with double rubber bands and thick Styrofoam box with peanut and heating bags.
