What size tank do the wrasses need?
Do they need a sandbed?

 

[rookie07]

I'm asking about the atavai pair.

 

[Pinkskunk]

We're trying to get more for next week. We'll let you know when we get them. They're called Flavoguttatus Anthias.

Fully open, it is roughly 12" from end to end.

Fully grown, this fish reaches roughly 6". They definitely need a sand bed, as they sleep in it. The male we have, is roughly 4.5".

From the looks of it it's probably a sebae anemone. A magnifica wouldn't stay on the sand like that

We are housing this anemone in a shallow tank, with only 10" of room from the bottom of the tank, to the surface of the water. We are sure that it is a Magnifica.

Do you have a picture of the base by any chance? If I can be sure that it is a Magnifica, I may take a drive for it

I am not saying you are misleading us with intention, but i highly doubt it is a mag. even with a very shallow tank the nem will climb to the highest point on the glass, it will never stay on the bottom near the sand. Also the pointy tips of the tentacles also tell me its not a mag. mags have more rounded and fatter tips.

With that color and tips it is highly suspicious it is either a malu or a sebea

It is a Magnifica, i have seen this variant before. Magnificas dont always need to climb if they are getting enough flow or light where they are.

Check out the fourth pic down on this page, it is just a uncommon variant of color for a magnifica

unless you have seen it in person, i will respectfully disagree. This mag is touching the glass wall and by its instinct it WILL climb, regardless of light or flow. In my 20+ years of seeing mags i havent seen one that doesnt climb that glass being that close to it. then again i am only human and i made lots of mistakes.

with all these discussions going on, i am sure it will bring alot of traffic to the store and i am sure it will be gone really quick

This color variant also surprised the wholesaler, who said he hadn't seen a magnifica with colors like this in his 10+ years in business!
