My Experiences With Keeping The Magnificent Anemone Heteractis magnifica

That is what we mean by deflated. I would take him out and treat him if it happended after 24 hrs in your tank. The longer you wait, the poorer the prognosis.

I ordered ciprofloxacin, I hope to have it tomorrow.

I ordered some today.... i should have it tomorrow or tuesday.... I think i have a sick Nem..

There is nothing wrong with that nem. However, your rocks look brand new. How old is this tank?

This is a reef tank transfer from an older system that I had for over a year. The nem needs treatment.

Guys what is your thoughts on melafix? It's a bacterial infection treatment as well... I can pick this up from petsmart...any thoughts?

My magnificent did the same thing and still does. It deflates at night sometimes. Had it 18 months now. I didn't do a thing even though everyone told me too

MIne does that still. The outer edged deflate here and there. Especially after I spot feed it. I think it literally takes a **** from its mouth after I spot feed it.

IMO it is just getting used to your environment.

Do you have clowns? Because clowns will help keep it healthy. My clowns take food to it and they do not like me spot feeding it for some reason.

Here it is where it stays most of the time. Sometimes it jumps over to the glass. It stayed at the bottom of my tank for a long time and then one day it was magically at the top and stays there. Not sure how it moved that fast in 6 hours.

I do water changes and it looks horrible completely flat and out of water for about 20-30 minutes. I snaps right back.

 

[DraggingTail]

Here it is pretty deflated after spot feeding.

 

[DraggingTail]

On the glass 1/2 out of the water.

 

[DraggingTail]

Back when I first got it at the bottom of the tank.

 

[DraggingTail]

Right after it ate dori. It literally ate a blue hippo that thought it was a clown and kept swimming into it. The final time it did not swim away and the new got a $65 meal.

@atoll hi there, I'm wondering if you can share your light settings with me. I'm interested to know what levels you reduce your blue and reds. This is the current settings I have for my magnifica.

I use Orpheks so the translation wont be the same, with that said my "color" is daylight with a slight hint of blue. If i had to guess maybe 14k.

Sorry, I sold my mag and tank when I moved house. Then sold by Radions and don't remember the setting.
