Update of H. mag

[Flighty]

There doesn't seem to be much of any change. They still have very hollow looking but colored tentacles and a mushy looking base, but the feeding response is still good and the mouth remains tight. I would definitely say they aren't declining right now, but I wouldn't say they are much improved except for the mouths being a bit tighter. Only time will tell with them.

for any of you guys/girls that have ever kept magnificas, do your ever suck all their tentacles up and form the ball? i dont believe ive ever seen mine do that before, even at night, its fully expanded constantly.

Here is a picture from Gary Majchrzak's photo gallery.

Love the mags. just wanted to mention that I just returned from Australia for some diving and I saw some absolutely amazing mags down there. pink tentacles with purple tips, green with black tips. These anem's were HUGE I would say they ranged in size from 2-4 feet. awesome. most hosted several clowns but some only a large pair

Here's an older pic of my H.mag and myOnyx clowns from earlier this year. I need to take some newer pics.

Had the anemeone since 03-10-2006. It seems to ball up when the halides go off at night. Its still pretty small...maybe 7 inches when fully expanded.

Thanks!

I use 250 watt SE AB 10K's currently. The pics were taken when I wa using 250 Watt DE's, but I switched them out.

I'll take some more pics today.
