Back at with Magnificas and treatment

[Nemguy123]

Nice. makes it easier to sanitize. I remember you had 7 mags in a large tank before with some other carpet nems. Are they still around?

I unfortunately had to take down all my tanks and sell all my anemones I am finally able to do it again so I have to start that up again I do have a tank with a few species in it tho now

That’s too bad. But I’m sure it will be so awesome this time around. Even better because you don’t know what color those bleached mags will turn into.

So hard to find a magnifica right now. Where did u get them?

Thanks guys and me too so far they are starting to inflate I’ll post pics tonight they are unfortunately bleached. I will have to attempt to implant healthy tentacles from other magnificas in the mouths of the bleached ones to hopefully get them recolonized ‍♂

What I don’t get it never heard of this

What I don’t get it never heard of this

People have attempted a "zooxanthellae transplant" where they feed tentacles from a healthy anemone to one that is bleached in hopes that it jump starts the zoox population. I think the jury is still out on whether or not it works.

IME if there is a healthy anemone present in the tank, that's enough to "seed" a bleached anemone (of the same species).

Oh ok for a jump start. Cause I would say it would do it on its own over time.

I was thinking the same thing one of the bleached anemones has made its way closer to a healthy mag I’m hoping it will share some of its zoos

Now they just have to color up they have all accepted food and pooped

I find the ones from SRI Lanka seem to come in bleach.

I think they're coming back. My LFS just got some the other day.

Maybe it’s the way they ship them? every time I get anemones from SRi always air in the bags no matter how many time I ask to ship the anemones with no air but I’ve had gigantea even come in From Bali not needing treatment if there’s no air in the shipment bags I think it’s less stress on the sea anemones

 

[Nemguy123]

Getting some pink back to the tentacles all the anemones survived cipro and sulfa so far 3 weeks out of treatment. I feed every day a piece of jumbo shrimp the size of the mouth

Following along. This is great thanks for documenting everything
