Post your magnifica anemone

[Oceanavekid]

magnifica moved from the sand bed to the front of the tank. Been there for a few weeks. My clowns went straight for it when I first added it to the tank.

That’s huge

How long have you had it?

The purple tip I had for about 2 years. It is not large only about 12 inches.

Here’s mine!

Right in the middle of my (mostly SPS) tank:

It’s about 16” across now. I don’t feed it. Pair of spawning clowns do sometimes feed him though.

Mine is below

I've had since last Christmas. Newly cycled tank (30 days since first wet). Nem was about ~5 inches. Now is around 14 inches or so 7 months later.

Has been really good at staying on its pedestal in the tank until the last 4 weeks or so... Is now restless. Went on vacation last week. Nem got down accross the sand bed and onto the glass overnight . Thank fully the Nem went back to up to its home once the lights came on. Has been climbing down and around its pedestal about every day or two recently but so far always returns its sunny home. I plan on installing another LED at some point in hopes of addressing the current restlessness.

Really hard to get a picture of mine in the back corner of the tank.

Thanks, it’s actually just an iPhone 9. I’m actually not totally satisfied with it. I’m considering getting a DSLR.

Do you use a lens or just the iPhone camera?

Like an orange lens? No, just a plain iPhone by itself.

Do everyone’s ball up regularly?

Do everyone’s ball up regularly?

This is the closest mine has gotten to balling up:

IIRCC, they do this when they are expelling waste.

I believe mine may have slightly bleached during Cipro treatment, so I would be willing to say that it doesn’t produce much waste since it’s most likely trying to repopulate its Zoox. Someone please correct me if I am completely wrong, but that’s just my hypothesis.

Hmmm that’s very interesting. It does seem to be some type of regular process it goes through. Mine will do it at sun up and sun down. But there are also times where it goes for weeks without doing it at all.

I have had quite a few anemones but never a magnifica. Mine all shriveled up daily and reexpanded, water exchange and waste expulsion i believe. I dont know for sure, but i would think all anemones do.
