Treating Magnifica and Crispa anemone questions

[stoney7713]

I am currently running a Cipro treatment on my new Magnifica anemone. I also received a Crispa and they were both in the same tank for half the day before I pulled the Magnifica to treat it.

The Crispa is looking great other than the foot being super inflated in my opinion. It's sticking to a couple rocks, mouth closed, and seems great otherwise. Should I treat it also and would it be okay to treat them together?

Here's the Magnifica it arrived completely deflated and gaping inside out, it did plant its foot but I decided to treat it rather than wait. Within a few hours of treatment it started inflating and less gaping.

Sorry about blue pics

After 6 hours

24 hrs later

The Crispa day 1 and day 2

He's moving again so his a picture of the foot

Hi!

I’m not a mag or crispa expert by any means, but I would treat them in separate tanks until each is symptom free for at least three days.

Especially the mag, even if it looks better now, it might have a lingering infection that proliferates when the nem is stressed or when conditions are ideal for the pathogen.

If the crispa came from the same source tank as the mag, I would treat it for at least three days in case it carried over the same pathogen that ticked off the mag.

If you placed either nem in the display tank before treating, the pathogen is now in your display.

I’ve seen overinflated foot like the crispa is displaying but I don’t know what the cause could be. It isn’t a symptom of an issue afaik.

Good luck!

When an anemone has super-inflated its foot, it means that they are about to take a walk or is walking. Keep this in mine and plan what to do accordingly.
Good luck.

Great I hope.
