The H.Magnifica Thread

[Flighty]

The base doesn't generally change color much even with bleaching. The tentacles can bleach and also shift color. I have had identical clones from the same parent, one with purple tentacles, one that turned to bright yellow tentacles, just from different tank conditions. They also gain or lose solid colored tips.

I'll get some pics up of my four mags when I find my camera.

My mag has climbed to the top of my viewing glass, do you think 150w 20K radium (a month old) isnt enough light for it???

 

[maxxII]

It could be light or it could be flow its looking for...

[artur]

Beautiful Nems everyone!

Where is the best place on line to get a mag.Or were did you get your Mag?

I have been watching DD for ..seems like a year

Thanks for any tips.

Artur, Light was most likely the determining factor there then. Mine moved around when I went from a 10K bulb to a 14K bulb....
Might consider going to a different bulb. You can light shock the anemone so lower your photo period when you increase your intensity.

I have a HQI 10,000K MH right above my anemone too, but it is on 14 hrs a day (6 AM to 8 PM). It get natural sunlight (AM) in addition to this. I think 6 hrs in not anywhere near enough, given the fact that our light is so much dimmer than the natural light out on the reef-top where many of these animal live. That is why I have my light on so long, plus I am leaving for work at 7 and not back until about 7 PM. I want to look at the tank to relax in the evenning, feed them in AM and PM.

Here are some of mine from a while back

Tank has been stripped and re done since but the nem is still doing well and split recently. Had the nem for about 7 years now

 

[crsandoval]

That is an incredible shot of your nem in the tank.

 

[Gig 'em]

Wow

Wow

I am in awwwe. Having problems with my manifica. Crawled over overflow into sump. Found him, put it back in main tank. It moves all over the place. Tentacles are little nubs and the color has faded. Can anyone recommend some advice? To help him get on track. Thanks in advance.

This photo was taken today. 16 months old. It has done great from the start. The clowns are 16 year old tank raised ocellaris. They still lay eggs regularly. They were bred by a local reefkeeper.

Scott, I am glad that yours is doing well.

My new H. magnifica. Picture taken today also. Under my care for 1 week and have not deflated. I fed he some dry flakes today. I cannot chance she eat some bad food. She ate it a little slow but ate all the flakes I squirt into her tentacles

 

[Outerbank]

Mihn,

That is a beautiful red base!!

Mine looks just like the one you had in the 400 gallon tank.

I discovered my ritteri loves fresh tuna. It seems to attach to and consume fresh tuna more aggressively than anything I have fed Try some if Tom has given you any.

 

[Flighty]

Mine seem to react well to the skin of fresh tuna. Mmmmm time to buy some sushi
