I’ve had my purple tipped Magnifica for probly coming up on 8 months now. He has had a few wandering spurts….usually when I change the flow but otherwise seems to be very healthy. I believe he’s also grown a bit too in the time I’ve had him. The only thing that seems a bit off though is how long and stringy the tentacles have become. He arrived at my tank with the typical short stubby tentacles you see with Mags but over time they have become 3-4 inches long and quite thin. He sits about 3 inches underneath the waters surface underneath a 250 watt Radium metal halide and gets pretty decent flow from an mp60 located 12 inches away. The only thing a little out of whack is the nitrates and phosphates which became elevated when I was battling Dino’s. The tank has been slightly unstable as I battled GHA and then Dino’s on the sand but corals weren’t too effected by that and now that the uglies are all gone everything seems to be taking off in growth. I have started to bring NO3 and PO4 down now.
Does anybody know what causes this in Mags? I know it happens in bubble tips with no real understanding why.
Thanks!
