Yes Gig'em!! You're doing a great service to us all. Hopefully I'll have a bigger tank one day to get another one (or two) from you.

Thanks bud! It's great to find a challenging hobby that can also help people and reduce the mortality rate of these gorgeous creatures. So far I have my work cut out for me on this round, all three mags came in looking pretty poor and with lots of brown gunk in the water

Mags have been acclimated. Now begins the treatment period

They're not perfect, but definitely look save-able (especially from an experienced person like yourself). Keep us updated!!

 

[Gig 'em]

Let's hope so. They certainly haven't improved and mouths remain gaping open. It's still too early to tell their health status, but I'll keep y'all updated!

Wow, this is quite a project. I'm sure you're having fun hard to tell from your picture, but what colors are they?

Gluck and keep us posted!

They all have a ways to go in coloring back up, but the columns are purple, green tentacles, and what looks like yellow tips when under white light.

They should be fat and healthy by the time my tank is ready.

Can you get a pic under white lights? I might have to put an order in with Liveaquaria if they are purple based and green. My other mag needs a friend

Haha YES! Your tank would be a perfect candidate. Nice, big, and close by [emoji16]

Best pic I can get at the moment. The one on the right has looked the worst off since the beginning and hasn't improved. Keeping a close eye on him...

Yea. Looks like that one may be too far gone. Still tough to tell on the colors. What location were they from on liveaquaria’s site?

So far the one on the left is likely to survive, the one in the middle is questionable, and the one on the right likely won't make it. I ordered these anemones through my LFS, I didn't order them from LA. A little disappointed in the shape they were in after shipping, I've seen mags come in mad, but these were beyond ticked.

 

[Gig 'em]

Well seems like this one was too far gone. Already melting away. Hopefully I can turn the other two around...

 

[Jamie1210]

Aww, sorry to hear. Well, you've still got 2 more. Rootin' for ya here!

I don't want to jinx myself, but I believe the other two are in the clear at this point. Both look good, tight mouths, and no deflating. I think the one that died shortly after starting treatment was just too far gone. That's the unfortunate part about getting them in unknown condition, you have no clue if they had been struggling before even being shipped. Still can't complain about 2/3 success rate this round [emoji106]

 

[Gig 'em]

One more days and mags will be graduated to the QT tank to heal and recover!

 

[Kinetic]

We need pictures!

 

[Gig 'em]

Graduation day!

Now to recover for a few months...

 

[Kinetic]

they look great! How big are they?

 

[Jeff000]

You are really really making me want to set up a couple tanks and see if I can order a few in. But in Canada they ship especially terribly. But I know so many people that want one!
