Like you, I tried all anemones I have (BTA, haddoni, gigantea) and even a couple of soft corals (Xenia & Anthelia) as zooxanthellae donors but nothing worked. I even got a pricey magnifica from Diver's Den and the transfer still failed.

While in QT, I had it with a single wild percula that I picked up from AC (which was subsequently killed when I tried to pair it with one of the wild percs we picked up from Steve a long time ago.)
I've since moved it into my anemone tank that's got several picassos and a B/W ocellaris. They move from one nem to the next so the magnifica has time to eat.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I know that it probably won't survive long term if the zoox population doesn't bounce back. However, I also think it would've died by now if it was sick or the lack of zoox has detrimental affects.
