New Heteractis magnifica

[Ron Popeil]

so i stumbled across this heteractis magnifica at a local fish store and i am not exaggerating when i say i have NEVER seen this color form in all my years of searching (nearly twenty!), let alone this color form AND one this incredibly healthy. sometimes i still rub my eyes in disbelief seeing this thing in person. all i need now is a pair of amphiprion chrysogaster and i'll never need anything else again.

I haven't seen these in years. The red base is stunning, especially combined with the lighter tentacles. I was told years ago that these were exported from the eastern coast of Africa.

That deep red looks stupidly good

i had always heard the same. so id try getting my local stores to get an import from their kenyan suppliers. but every time id see what came in it would be some rusty brown based specimen. usually struggling.

ill have to see if i can trace back the origin of this one.
