Their reactions to light were very helpful.Mags can tolerate allot of light. They do come from shallower water. Any coral or anemone can bleach if there is too much light. If you have to much light allot of corals and anemones will close up or shrink. Shrinking makes less surface area which = less light taken in. Mags also will move if not happy to the area with the amount of light they like.. If the light is to low some corals and anemones will expand creating more surface area to absorb more light.
And I am currently reading in order the many descriptions you have introduced. Thank you very much.
First, for starters, I understood the following scores.
Amoo's Severity Scoring System:
0 - Healthy Nem.
1 - Tentacles shortened, still fully inflated, mouth tight, responsive to touch.
2 - Tentacles shortened, still fully inflated, mouth slightly droopy, responsive to touch.
3 - Tentacles shortened, still fully inflated, mouth slightly open, responsive to touch.
4 - Tentacles shortened, still fully inflated, mouth open, responsive to touch.
5 - Tentacles shortened, still fully inflated, mouth gaping open with insides exposed, responsive to touch.
6 - Tentacles shortened, partially inflates, mouth gaping open with insides exposed, responsive to touch.
7 - Tentacles shortened, inflates and deflates multiple times daily, mouth gaping open with insides exposed, responsive to touch.
8 - Tentacles shortened, most always deflated, mouth gaping open with insides exposed, responsive to touch.
9 - Tentacles shortened, always deflated, mouth gaping open with insides exposed, barely responsive to touch.
10 - Tentacles shortened, always deflated, mouth gaping open with insides exposed, non-responsive to touch.
11 - Mush (Sorry )

Thanks to you, I was able to roughly understand the condition of my anemone.
Maybe Okinawa Mag is going from 1 to 0.
Tentacles began to grow little by little. I hope to be able to post an improved photo of him soon.
Another Indonesian mug has long enough tentacles, but the mouth looks like 3 to 2...sometimes 1. Also, although the tentacles are not white, However, I think the surface of the oral disc once turned white. Now, about half of the disk's surface has returned to its standard color, giving it a mottled, map-like appearance.
Both grip the rock firmly with the pedals and do not move from the top of the rock. They do respond to food, but their swallowing speed is a little slow. I will continue to closely monitor their situation.. thank you.
