New H. magnifica/ritteri anemone

[aandfsoccr04]

I picked up a new magnifica anemone last night. It's been in my tank a little less than 24 hours and I'm really happy about it! I was looking for a natural host for my clowns and finally found one after several months of searching.
They were hosting when I woke up and haven't left the nem since this morning.
What do you think?!

Congrats! I like the yellow tentacles. And I agree, those are some sweet looking clowns.

Thank you for the compliments! I searched high and low until I fell in love with these clowns :rollface:
It moved a few inches over after I acclimated it and is pretty close to that monti cap. Does anyone think that will be a problem with the foot attaching right there? I was thinking about moving it but definitely don't want to injure the foot at all.

Do Not move the Mag i would try and brake off as much of that monti and place it some place else in your tank .

BEAUTIFUL! Congrats on your new addition! Those are absolutely beautiful clowns too Agreed with above, don't move it! Monti cap can be moved first

Shot a little video as well. Hopefully this works.

Looks like the nem moved a bit to the left and off the cap. Really considering taking the cap off that rock now. Here's some pics:

Look like it is still going to be on the move. Mag will move to the highest point in a tank i think that may be what yours is doing .

Those are beautiful clowns

Thanks again for the compliments. How much flow do you all give your mags? Mine wasn't inflated as it was the day before since it moved over a little bit away from the flow. Thinking about adding another powerhead like a koralia 4 pointing directly at it. What do you all think?

 

[Catchoftheday]

do not point right at it they like indirect slow take a look at some of my thread that i have about flow . mine is on a JBJ quad wavemaker controller

Hmmm...maybe that's what I'll do to get rid of my monti cap! LOL! Nice nem by the way.

 

[aandfsoccr04]

Moved north again!!!

 

[bradleym]

It's not done. Given the option, Magnifica will choose a platform at the top of the tallest rock it can touch.

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

as long as it cant touch the glass that is.....

Any Updates on how the mag is doing

 

[aandfsoccr04]

The mag is still doing great. Did a water change and turned off all the pumps. You can see the mouth here:

I'm renting a new place in the next few weeks so hoping everything goes smoothly in the move.
