Gary, I know people have talked about stressed magnificas killing fish. It just never accured to me that this anemone, that has been pulled of the rocks and put in a more appropriate place several times and produced slime, would have this problem.

I'll tell you what though, I was glad I had plenty of paper towels. Everytime I picked the anemone (or pieces of it) up, it felt like there was an inch of slime covering my hands. The buckets that I used were so covered that I'm going to have to use a scouring pad to clean them out.

Believe me, I was real close to putting it back into the aquarium when it was sitting on that cutting board.
