"mag in a cup"

reefsponge · Nov 5, 2017

So getting excited for the addition of this Heteractis magnifica / Ritteri anemone. I have had it in a 1/2 filled 20g hospital tank for day 10 of ciprofloxacin and 10g daily water changes. From draining 10g from hospital, onto power head and hose from display to fill 10g hospital, and then power head and hose from 40g fresh mix saltwater to display tank...I've gotten pretty efficient with the process and at the same time was able to capture a unique sight.

I'll have to update with a picture when it goes into the display tank.

Add some corn and peas, and it's a new cup-o-noodle variety!

While hard to tell how healthy a mag is when it's in a mug, it looks like it's gonna be great =) Did you get it in the DT by now?

It looks as if it is good and healthy, the occasional stringy slime from the foot attaching. The vendor said they have had it for 2 months prior to selling to me. I still felt compelled to treat it, too many horror stories of people feeling good about adding to dt only to pull it out and treat it. My first mag, so I am learning. Actually my first mag came a while ago a couple days late while Harvey was slapping the US. That one did not fair well at all.
Waiting to put it in the dt when I have time to keep an eye on it, tomorrow I am hoping.
