Wow, gorgeous Anemones. I love the looks of mags!

 

[LukeGI]

Another acronym I don't know...what is a mag coral?

 

[Conrad25]

magnifica anemone is its full name, short for mags:spin3:

 

[LukeGI]

well...they are beautiful mags indeed

 

[bradleym]

Holy cow! That mag is really gorgeous!

 

[Winwood]

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing.

Those are nice , can we get a FTS (Full Tank Shot)

 

[garygb]

Thank you guys for the nice words.

I tried a FTS and it didn't turn out too well. I'm just getting used to this camera. If I snap a shot I like, I'll post it.

 

[garygb]

Trademark, here's a FTS:

And a pic of my small purple based mag, the larger part of the clone I sold a few months ago when moving things around:

Gorgeous! What size tank is that?

 

[velvetelvis]

Absolutely gorgeous. You and Ron Popeil need to put your heads together and start propagating those mags of yours. And I only hope my RBTA grows up as pretty as that one on the bottom right.

I've read on here that mags can be aggressive with other anemones...have you encountered any problems with that?

 

[garygb]

A few months back I did some moving things around and selling stuff. The tank they're in now is a 50 gallon breeder.

As far as aggression, I haven't had any problems with my mags bothering anything. They have perched in the same spots since I put them in this tank approximately 4 months ago. Because they do get large, eventually I plan on putting them in a larger tank of their own and letting the BTAs have this tank exclusively.

super nice anemones gary... glad to see your anemones... they look awesome... thanks again for all your help...

 

[garygb]

You're most welcome ptan. I'm sure yours will give you years of enjoyment. They really are such nice anemones. Too bad they are poor shippers and can be delicate at the beginning which leads to their poor survival rate.

 

[velvetelvis]

They're absolutely beautiful. What kind of clowns are you planning to keep the mags with when you move them? I have no desire to keep any of the more difficult nem species (especially considering how much I already worry over my BTA), but I do love to enjoy them vicariously.

 

[Raindog]

Wow, just wow.

 

[garygb]

I only have one clown in the tank, the percula you can see in a couple of the pics. At some point, I plan on adding a smaller male.

And thanks Raindog
