New Mag from QM

So, my LFS was told by QM that they had gotten in 6 Mags and they were "the healthiest they've ever seen come in". My LFS is a good one and usually don't even order Mags because they don't have good luck with them (or a good set-up for them really). LFS decided to take a chance and ordered 2. They arrived in Indiana and were fully inflated in the bags and attached to the sides of their bags. Both the same colour, one a bit larger than the other. One was purchased by a local reefing expert (and I don't use the term lightly). The other was bought by me. I got an insane deal on it because it was wandering around trying to find a good spot in a big coral frag tank and was starting to make LFS owner very nervous.

I bought it early yesterday and brought it home and put it in the standard Mag treatment set-up but did not treat it as it does not look sick to me. Today is day 2 and it still does not look sick to me. Can I get some impressions from you guys please?

Videos are taken under white light with maybe 10% blues. It's much prettier with blues, but I wanted to provide as clear a video as possible. Second one is an attempt to show mouth thoroughly.

It's so beautiful! I wish I could have one, but I'm gonna stick with my easy anemones because I'm newbie. 😂

Pretty coloration, I like the purplish tips. Looks pretty good to me. I would remain patient for a little while to make sure deflation doesn't occur before adding to DT but I'm a new mag owner myself. I'm sure there are some more experienced mag owners that can chime in. Good luck, I love these things!!!!
 
I also happen to know that as of yesterday, QM still has 2 in stock from same batch. Wholesale price $42.

I agree about the patience thing. I'm going to continue to observe it for a while longer.

How do we feel about the amount of flow on it right now?
 
I think it looks good, I had to add a little more to mine. What does QM stand for, contact info, Do they ship to individuals?
 
Yes it looks really good. I recently got a mag through my LFS that apparently came from QM. Not as colorful as yours, but I put it straight into the display and it never required any subsequent treatments.

Quality Marine is a West Coast wholesaler that services many LFS and is the source of all Live Aquaria livestock (except divers den).
 
As ca1ore explained above, QM is Quality Marine. They do not sell to individuals at all. I only know the wholesale price because I have a friend in the industry.
 
I think you should definitely cipro now I've had them look that good for a month and then the signs of infection started appearing.
