My ritteri has been in the tank for almost three months and been the same size. Last night I noticed it was moving around a little on the rock its attached to. I come home today and its almost doubled in size from normal. Ive never saw it close to this big. It looks almost like I added one beside it from normal and no its not split that I can tell trust me ive looked. Its so big the foot is hanging off the rock it has nothing to attach to. Is it going to split? Or do they just have sudden growth spurts? Do I need to add another rock for the foot to attach to? This is the biggest sudden expansion of anything ive ever saw. All fish are accounted for too btw.

Thanks he come from a lfs who special ordered it for me, Sun Pets is their distributor. I paid $80 for him and my clowns will love me forever. He is the first one i have got, and he is doing great so far. Most places won't order them and if they do you pay before its ordered. They are pretty hard to keep and getting a healthy one to start with is 80% of the battle. Most die within a few weeks of foot tears or lack of lighting before you get it. Its my favorite thing in the tank.
 
i kept a BTA dominated tank for 2+ years and have studied up on Ritteri anemones during the span we are starting a new tank once we close on our new house and after my tanks established and stable i will hopefully be able to invest in one. Great job with your nem!
