He may be a hybrid.

You will be known in the anemone keeper circle as the “Reefer with the Red Gigantea”.

Just be careful with no light, they can bleach easily in treatment. I wonder if it will color up darker or go purple.

 

[D-Nak]

Looks good. It's holding its shape nicely. Fingers and toes crossed.

This has to be one of the more rare anemones that have crossed the forums in a while. I'm incredibly nervous for the survival of this anemone, and I don't even have any vested interest in it! Best of luck, will be following this one closely.

 

[this is me]

This is epic!

i need a bigger bucket when i read this thread.

 

[duyhuynh]

Looking good. This one is big. What is the size?

 

[m0nkie]

it's around 10", but I think it can stretch a couple more inches under better lighting and flow

day 2. lights on.

mouth little gappy still. less black expel. no deflating

 

[Reefvette]

Stuff that gets expelled

Stuff that gets expelled

I believe that was is getting expelled its waste that is being sucked in a out of the anemone during collection and shipping.

When we treat i believe we are treating bad bacteria that has developed in the anemones gut from collection and shipping.

[D-Nak]

I am soooo pulling for you dude! Come on Tony, if anyone can do it, you can!!

+1. I look forward to these updates!

The mouth looks closed and tighter than previous days. The posture still looks good. Looks like there is some bleaching but that is to be expected with treatment.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :beer:

So, umm, what Facebook group/shopfront are you guys talking about? I’m on high alert for a decent Mag but want to expand my search.

 

[m0nkie]

it's a private group for Sunburst owners. but they post other anemones too.

this is not a wallet friendly group..
