Is multicolor magnifica a thing?

Also, since it's frequently asked, I do not use any antibiotics.

I have my own collection station in the Ha'Apai islands in Tonga. Our partner there collects the anemones and sends them directly to me. No middleman involved. They arrive in perfect condition, packed in large bags with lots of water, usually attached to the bag. A big part of the cost is in shipping. Only three to four fit in one box.

There are MultiColor magnificas. However, the one shown in this thread is not one of them. Many magnificas naturally have varying colored areas, but a true MultiColor is when the anemone has several different colors mixed throughout the anemone. I've only seen a few truly MultiColor magnificas. I have another batch of magnificas arriving next Saturday, we'll see what they look like.

Would love to know more about your mariculture process.

Do you know if your collection site has any mags with purple feet and green tentacles? I’m wondering if that specific color morph is endemic to another part of the world.

In any case, it’s not the lighting I care about, but whether magnifica once settled in ever display color variation across the animal . :)

edit: I didn't read the full thread before replying

Every single mag on scuba instagram is stark white :( so I'm glad PEA's are at least partially colored.

Here is my Magnifica anemone from Pacific East. Purchased a few months ago and already growing like a weed. They really color up nicely under good lighting.

Do you have the pacific east picture, or a picture from when first got it?

Here it is first day settled in the tank. Looks like I purchased it in October.

Great, thanks. It’s very useful to see the color changes. :)

Wow. That is astonishing. I don’t purchase because they seem so lightly colored.

Thanks for posting!! Any others?
