Two, mags are not really rare, they are fairly easy to get. They are just hard to get living in an aquarium. Although that's changing now. Magnifica's have a dismal survival rate going from wild to captive. But there has been some progress now with cipro treatments giving them a 90% survival rate instead of like 5%. So you can spend 30 bucks ordering Cipro off ebay, and then 150 bucks to get a LFS to bring you in a ~14" magnifica and take the 7 days to treat it. Here is the thread on treating them. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2271385

![]() Thanks for adding some further info on the survival rates ect. I don't think the price is steep.. just take the right buyer. I have it listed on another site and getting pretty close to my asking price. I do appreciate the comments.. even the kind of rude ones by people who haven't appreciated this beauty ;p in person comparing it to some **** you buy from big al's that's half dead when you bring it home for $150. lol

you see mine was 24" in size if not larger and was the showpiece for big als display before it caught fire and i had it for 2 yrs after purchase, i sold it to a lady in reddeer who had the anemone survive a total tank crash, the anemone is currently in a highschool tank as we speak...but i guess they arnt easy to keep right?? seems comparable to me no? so $150 or $1000....ummm ok so how does that not compare to your "rare" anemone?? rare means they can not be gotten easily and as someone who works at a lfs these can be gotten still and i see them all the time on order lists, prob is they are usually large and do not ship well so theres a good chance when ordering it about its survival and then the cost is higher to ship large animals(ie: box space) theres a buyer for everything so you prob will sell it , if the person is happy to pay THAT MUCH for something then i guess its a good price right? but dont mind me and jabber on!!
