Magnifica Anemone

[Purpletang92]

How rare are green magnifica or is there even such a thing as a green magnifica anemone? I’m trying my luck for the second time I bought what looks to be like bleached magnifica anemone, it’s been about 3 days and I can see some color coming back , I fed it a piece of shrimp and it took it, also the foot is planted flat and it hasn’t moved from where I placed it. Upon closer investigation I can definitely see a faint green color towards the base of the tentacles. The tips are bulb shaped also my clowns took to it immediately.

I'm pretty sure green is a pretty common color for magnificas. A lot of magnificas that I've seen including one I owned once have green tipped tentacles with a sort of color gradient that goes from green to nothing down the tentacle.

Are you sure that's an anemone? Looks like a green Torch Coral to me.

Hmm, maybe you could give it to me for further examination? Seriously that is one gorgeous anemone! Great find, looks almost like there's something glowing inside of it barely shining through

Looks like one to me. They get folds like that making them look like torches so I'm convinced it's a nem

%1000 sure it’s anemone , when I was at the lfs there were 2 this one I purchased and another with the typical brown color. They were both at the top of the water line sucked up on the glass reaching for light and the only anemone I know to do that are magnifica....

Also if you look in the second pic it’s attached to a conch shell which has a smooth surface, another thing I know these anemone like.

It was only 45 bucks and I’m pretty sure it’s a little bleached so fingers crossed , it was extremely sticky also.

Nope definitely not that , look at the cluster of tentacles ,also the nem is on a conch shell , It hasn’t moved since I placed it there.....
