new H. magnifica

[angieg1123]

I got a great deal on it. Was listed at 89.99 and I ended up paying $28.47. Seems the ballast was out on the lights over the anemone tank and they couldn't get a replacement right away so they gave me a huge discount to keep it from dying

Wow and nice score on a great deal and looks healthy from here, just watch for tentacle deflation and be ready to treat just in case, they are known for that, but hopefully you get lucky

Nice score. And lucky 5.5% sales tax. It's 9.25% where I live :/

I have had H. Magnifica's before. I had a huge one for about 5 years, then I moved and had to sell it. I have Cipro on hand and a QT tank if needed. Right now the mouth is tight and it is super sticky. It is also under a Mars Aqua LED. I do have a 250w MH if it seems to need more light. Purple base and purple tips...It's going to be a beauty for sure. Percs are checking it out already. They refused to host a Bubble lol. They knew if they held out long enough I would cave, lol.


(I also had a carpet (gig) that was a tiny 3 inches when I got it and it is now over a foot. I sold it at the same time as the previous Mag. Both are still alive and thriving today in my friends tanks)

Looks good. One of my favorite color combinations: cream tentacles with the mauve base. Very nice.

Congrats on a great looking mag.

Well that was FAST

Well that was FAST

Had a bubble in here for MONTHS, no go. 6 hours with the Mag and they are in. The Mag also ate a decent sized piece of Krill today. Quick to take it into its mouth and eat it. That is a good sign.

That's awesome and all looks great.
I was just having this discussion elsewhere on the difference in a clowns reaction towards a natural host vs a non natural, instinct prevails!

I just wanted to update and let everyone know the anemone is still alive and doing well. It quickly outgrew the 29g biocube but I knew I was setting up a 65g RR in the future. It is now in the 65g and the clowns are still loving it.
