Heteractis magnifica--All colors

[New&no clue]

@PacificEastAquaculture what do you typically feed your anemones

 

[Cell]

The Clownfish are fed twice daily with a dry hatchery diet. The food is put in at one end with lots of flow dispersed throughout and the fish and anemones both get some. It's a finer grain pellet-like feed.

This Magnifica has been in this 32 gallon Fluval Flex for many months. This one originated in Tonga, the others are from Indonesia.

Which one did you lose Sean?

The purple tip lime green. Very disappointing.

I did not missed out on all the fun. I got a beautiful one. @Claybird1985 ordered for me. There were problem with deflation on some of the anemones but yesterday when I pick mine up everybody was doing fine.
this AM, mine were deflated so I have him in my hospital tank, under 5500K flood light. He is a beauty, three color tentacles. Brownish oral plates and first part of tentacles, then green, magenta tipped. The column is greenish yellow.

what’s the best acclimation process? Tempted to buy one for my 200 gal.

I soak the shipping bag for 20 to 30 minutes to temperature acclimate. I dump some of the shipping water out of the bag and float it back in the aquarium. I add 1/2 cup of tank water every 5 to 10 minutes until the shipping bag is close to full. This usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

Thank you!

how are your anemones doing? I ended up purchasing one. Waiting to receive.

 

[OrionN]

Mine is doing well under treatment.

New Heteractis magnifica Anemones at Pacific East Aquaculture with BRIGHT PINK-PURPLE bases!!


Natural sunlight, flow mostly off to photograph.

These anemones do best with intense full spectrum lighting, lots of flow, correct natural saltwater parameters INCLUDING IODINE (essential for long term health and survivability--verified via ICP testing), and daily feeding ( I use TDO pellets twice daily--small amounts!).

@PacificEastAquaculture I just received my anemone about an hour ago. It’s drip acclimating at the moment. Just FYI the water it came in is 1.030 on my freshly calibrated refractometer.
