magnifica

Just wanted to share my experience so far with a Ritteri Anemone, as I know they're a challenging one to keep. I tried once before about a year ago or so, but I think I was a bit too greedy with what I was doing. I added it to my 40g breeder that I turned it into an AIO by building an overflow...

Hey all- I have a bleached magnifica anemone that I'm attempting to revive. I'm going to feed it finely chopped silversides 2X per day until it started to produce some zooxanthellae. Fingers crossed! Pics incoming :) -gb

The following anemones have been in my system for over a year, or for multiple years. They all live together peacefully in the same tank and have no issues mixing with each other. Standard DOA policy, send a picture within 3 hours of arrival of it dead in the bag and I’ll send a replacement or...

Hey, So I just got this mag nem from my lfs, around 2 days ago, his mouth was a bit loose so I just dropped him into an antibiotic QT tank (since Im treating one of my acro anyway). So it looks much better now mouth shut and sticky never deflated or anything like that. BUT last night and this...

Hey, I recently had a water chemistry issue (calcium dosing pump failed AND alkalinity pump lost calibration within one day of each other, and I’m not at home currently, staff cares for the aquarium 3x/week. 4th time I’ve problems with Kamoer dosing pumps, don’t use them!) so my alk spiked to...

Hello, just received a magnifica this morning. It looks pretty healthy overall. I’ve got it in a hospital tank for cipro treatment currently. While acclimating I realized the anemone has 2 mouths. Does this mean it started to split and then didn’t? Or that it will split? Just curious as I...

Two week ago my LSF received a bleached ritteri that I decided to take with some racked up store credit I had from my constantly splitting BTA's and GSP. After two days in the display and multiple inflation/deflation cycles and a constant puffy and gaping mouth I decided to pull it out and...

I’ve been working on a species dedicated tank/frag tank system for a while now and I thought it would be a good time to share it. I have a custom built 50 gallon rimless that I have H. magnifica anemones in plumbed in with a 50 gallon frag tank and 20 gallon sump. Magnifica anemones have...

Although I've been in the hobby going on 13+ years, I've only been keeping anemones (BTAs up to this point) over the past 2 years. After setting up a tank dedicated to anemones, I started hunting around for captive-held Magnificas over the past several after soaking up every bit of information...

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to acquire a magnifica anemone? I'm looking for one with a strong purple foot and green tentacles (like the picture). I'm not in any rush, but I'd like to start planning for this to be the centerpiece of my 75 gallon tank.

Not sure why my H. Magnifica did this but for a few months, it stayed relatively put. The 2 clowns, even spawned eggs under it. Soon as they did, it started climbing the wall behind it. Now it's at the surface and starting to hurt the green Stylo! Any suggestions? The spot it was originally...

I'm looking for any suggestions on reputable sources for getting a healthy (preferably purple foot) Heteractis magnifica. I've kept RBT's for several years without any problems, but they're easy to find locally. Ritteri not so much. Anyone with Ritteri interested in selling a 4-6" one or have...
