So I got a new magnifica that isn't bleached and took 2 or 3 tentacles from it and injected them with a syringe into the gastral cavity of my bleached magnifica. The tentacles stayed wet all the time and it took only a couple of seconds from harvest to injection.

I have to go with injecting the transplants this way since the magnifica doesn't have a strong enough feeding reflex to actually grab food and put it into her mouth. Aside from that, the bicinctus steal or fan away any food I put into the anemone.

The injection was a week ago but so far I can't see any success of the procedure.
To make matters worse, the new anemone has started deflating so I will likely have to treat it ... which may lead to it bleaching as well...

I had tried feeding my other bleached anemone, a gigantea from LA, a few tentacles from my healthy giganteas about a months ago, but the transfer also didn't take.
