Natural host means instant bond? Not so fast

[CoralsAddiction]

How come I hear alot of medicating anemones. What's the purpose. Are you trying to clean up the toxins they released of something like that?

Treatment is done to prevent anemone from dying of bacterial infection.

Here's a short video of it this morning. The nem looks better than last night. It has expanded a tiny bit. I can see a fold or two on its oral disc. The light should turn on shortly and we'll see what effect it has on the size of the mag, if any.

Ah man, what a bummer to hear, but at least you had cipro and QT ready for quick treatment, good luck, guess we don't get to see how fast they swap out

Here it is under LEDs, Orbit Marine Pro at 85% intensity (blue and white).

See my sticky thread on top of this forum about treating compromised anemone with antibiotic

That is a sign of successful treatment.

Today the mag is looking better than ever. I might move it to DT later this evening.

I would not rush it that fast myself, I'd give a full week since it's already there, would hate to see a relapse.
It is looking nice.

Thanks. I transferred it to DT. I had a gig before that went through a 5 day treatment also. It did fine. Another RC member bought it. And I only did 5 days because the mag did not deflate after first deflation and was on the upswing the entire time. Otherwise I would have gone 7 days.
Fingers crossed for no relapse.

Here's a video of the mag, clowns and BTA

Mag looks great!

Mag looks great!

Thanks. It has settled in even more now

Mag is doing well but the clowns still in the BTA. 6 of my 7 fishes hang out on the left side of the tank, away from the powerhead. I turned down the flow in hopes of making the fishes spread out a little. May be the clowns will make the move for the mag as well.

Well, it's safe to say the bond isn't happening any time soon. I thought natural instincts of clowns will kick in but they haven't. At least the mag is happy. Here's a crappy iPhone video of them

The mag is looking good. I'm sure the clowns will make their way over there eventually.

 

[davocean]

Yeah I'm surprised especially after they showed interest before treatment, but agree at least mag is looking good.
