Getting a new Ritteri (H. Mag)

dwair · Feb 10, 2015

Found this guy in state sorta Locally. Going to pick him up on Thursday, 7 hour round trip drive, but worth it!

Guy I'm getting it from says he's been in captivity for 5 years, healthy and gets up to 18" in circumference when fully opened.

Can't wait! Here's a pic.

See if you can get the rock he is on also. Best if you dn't have to remove him from the rock.
That tank he is in look sorta nasty.

It is nasty, he told me that ahead of time. He's actually breaking down the tank, reason he is even selling it. As far as getting that rock, I don't want that. He's told me he has several algae on the rock, bubble algae, hair algae, etc. So I really don't want to put that in my tank. We are going to try to remove him.

Well now that I'm selling the Wyomings, I needed a new pair of Clowns to host this beautiful Anemone!

So this is whats coming to me next Thursday.

To remove it from the rock, just put a wave maker directly on it and gently massage the anemone's foot...patience and you will get it out without trouble...

Well figured I'd update this. Been almost 2 months since I got the H. Mag. She has done well. Took me awhile to get her to the place she wants to stay. Even now she moves like an inch everday. She's on my highest shelf right now almost touching the surface of the water. I ended up getting a Bali and Onyx Picasso pair instead of the maroons. They hosted within 20 sec of dropping them in the Nem. But everything is doing well!

Here's some pics

Taken today.
