Wow, that is absolutely beautiful...If you need any tips, MINH is an anemone expert in Corpus Christi!

[CoryDude]

Ritteri?! I wanted one last summer but was talked out of it by fellow members. Good luck, it looks beautiful! I'm jealous.

[clamgal]

Minh led me to her :) I just hope I can keep it alive. I drove 300 miles for her today.
She was is very low flow, I think I shocked her with my flow ( I turned it off)

Is this one of the ones from Aquarium Masters?

[clamgal]

Yes, it's the one posted on the Sponsor site. They have another one left just as big and beautiful. It was hard to pick just one. The color in the video does not do it justice. It's much more colorful in person.

[devonian]

wow, great looking nem

good luck

[Third Coast Tropical]

Wow...its HUGE!!!....nice hammer to the right as well.....Is that the flow you're going to stick with?

[clamgal]

I'm keeping the flow low for a couple of days. Aquarium Masters had it in low flow for over a month. When I put it in my tank it didn't seem to like the high flow. I will be adding a little more a day to try and see where it is more comfortable. It moved once when I first got it, but it has been in this spot for a 2 days. It is very sticky, has not deflated once, mouth is tight, and ate some PE mysis shrimp that fell on its tentacles.
We'll see.....

I had to move the hammer cuz the anemone was knocking it over :)

[OrionN]

He will be just fine. I would increase flow a little. I am not sure where Erik got these anemones but he is getting healthy H. magnifica, and colorful too. I hunted for them for the longest time. It took me two years to fine a nice one. Both of mine was from Aquarium Masters. IMO you should rename this thread to something with H. magnifica, or Ritteri or something like that.

Keep us update

beautiful!

:heart:I added more flow

uh-oh...it moved over your clam????

that thing is SO big!

[clamgal]

I know! I've tried to move the clam, but its foot is stuck to the rock. Does anyone have any idea how to remove it? I can't move the rock that it is attached to.

[devonian]

wow looks great

might have to simply slice through the byssal threads with a razor to relocate the clam

[Aquarium masters]

Glad this beauty is doing well in your tank! Those cute clowns look happy in their new anemone!

[clamgal]

It is a beauty and I'm in love with it :) The clowns went from an apartment(frogspawn) to a mansion(ritteri). They are in heaven. I've never had a ritteri respond so well in my tank. I hope it keeps doing well.
Thank you so much for having such wonderful specimens. Have you sold the other one?

[Aquarium masters]

Yes, we still have the other one. Making another trip? :bigsmile:

[clamgal]

I heard you had a red on in Edinburg.
I'm starting to imagine another one in my tank:)

[Aquarium masters]

I can take some pics of it when I go down on thurs or fri. I think it is more red/maroon but it isnt even half the size of the one you got. Do you want a mansion for each of your clowns??? lol
