My new magnifica.

[nanoohio]

Day two of treatment. Morning after water change and cipro dose.

Nice pics showing the whole cipro/QT process, that is something I was not familiar w/ in treating new mags.
Hopefully yours comes back, looks like it's on track.
As to your clarki and cinnamon, I would choose one or the other, and sounds like the clarki is already interested in that nem, and maybe find a mate for that clarki, just a suggestion.

It does seem to be doing better but it seems as tho after I get it healthy I will be selling it off due to moving and having to downgrade to a smaller system. My clowns do fine together so I wasn't really worried. The cinnamon is still a juvenile so I'm sure when he gets larger he may become more aggressive but Ill be only keeping one with the downgrade. Everyone is so set on keeping only one species together but I have seen many systems with two or more species. I'm a firm believer in don't believe everything you have read. "Kind of like seeing a Sasquatch up close and personal that someone had killed and still believing that he wasn't real just because you always have before" with the way technology has progressed and and the leaps this hobby has made already you don't know what's possible. Not trying to come off rude just wish people weren't so biased about mixing clown species.

Hope the mag pulls through tho! Do you have one?

Yes, I am in the process of bringing back a bleached mag.
I too used to subscribe to your theory on keeping multiple species or more than one pair, and understand seeing this done increases the wish to do so, but as most find out over time, it rarely if ever works out long term.
Pretty much always when they mature and begin to spawn is when it goes bad, and it can go really bad over night, learned that the hard way a long time ago myself.

Good luck with your mag looked for your thread didn't see it.

Finally was able to get a good shot of just how much the mouth is open. Expelling stringy stuff like crazy. I've been siphoning it out as best I can.

 

[nanoohio]

Start of day cycle number five mouth still gaped.

 

[nanoohio]

A min after previous photo. Lights just came on.

Should I be seeing some better results?

 

[nanoohio]

So it's been right days the nem is not deflating but it never had. Mouth is gaped and the disk isn't opening up kind of folding on itself. What is my next option?

I have been following the 250 mg of cipro daily with five gal water changes. It's expelling a lot of "filament"? But doesn't really seem better?

Should I continue treatment with cipro?

 

[nemmy]

There's multiple schools of thought on this honestly. Some would say continue cipro, some would say do no cipro but keep in QT with water changes and I would say give it a vacation to the display tank and keep an eye on it. I'd be weary though if you have any other anemones that it could infect if still sick.

Sometimes our QT's can't have the stability a DT can have and a vacation back to the DT can be all it needs. If you have no other anemones in the display transfer him over and keep a close eye. If it starts deflating again go back to the QT.

1. Is your TT condition good?
2. Do you have another anemone in the DT?
If the answer is no to both or no to Question 2 then I get him to the DT.

Condition is good in tt. I'm using display water for all of my water changes. Gonna move him back to my display now. Oh and no other nems.

Any updates or pioctures?

Did this one ever make it?

 

[Reefahholic]

After 5 days of Cipro and mouth like that, I wouldn't think so.

I would like to know too.

Was doing well for about 3 weeks or so and then a few days ago it's mouth gaped open after I fed it for the first time "I fed it a cube of phytoplankton, inserted via syringe after the cube was thawed" and never closed back up, it wasn't expanding and was making a sort of taco shape, tentacles were still full.

Did you actually insert it into the mouth, or onto the tentacles, in the mouth is not a good move I thought? ((I ask cause the way you posted it seems like it was inserted directly into the mouth. If this is not the case, sorry for the confusion.))
