H. Malu
Ordered a purple one from Live Aquaria, do you recommend treatment or just observation?

I’ll let the experts weigh in but I haven’t seen much on treating malu. Mostly it’s mags and gigs that are sensitive.

Well with LA track record lately I would at least observe...
Anemones have not been as good since the Indo ban. I have seen allot more sick anemones than before. Most of the Malu's have been bleached too... I think more anemones are coming from the Philippines and I guess collection there is more sketchy. I am not sure where a Malu are coming now from though, probably Australia.. I know they came from Fiji but there is a ban there too.. I also know they are in Hawaii.. Other than Magnificas I think Malus seem to come in the worst. So many bleached or wont attach. I have not heard of anyone treating a malu.

What I have been doing with good luck. I put them in a basket at the top of the water line. This way you can check on it and move if needed . When they start to move is when I know they are healthy .

I got a Crispa from DD last month...looked healthy as a bull when it arrived,good color, etc..the next morning it was puffed up an looking great...by the following afternoon it was the classic inflate/deflate syndrome going on,,,some of the "experts" on here said crispa's are more hardy than mags or gigs and therefore recommended AGAINST treating it... I watched it waste away and refuse food over a 10 day period...it never made it...So I say - TREAT no matter what.....

I would put him in QT and treat if he does not inflates after shipping or deflates after 24 hrs.

Thanks. I was really hoping this was the healthy purple malu I’d been trying to find.
