It is hard to tell when they are stressed. From the look and the size of it, I would have to guess Malu. Once they are healthy we can see and try for a better ID

What are the clear differences with respect to verrucae and foot? I've been trying to look for quite a while, pics and all, and since I can't log into RC (lol, oops), I can't see all the awesome awesome threads on this. I'll keep feeding my baby.

in my experience they look about the same

Mine was upside down again tonight. Replaced foot in the sand. I don't get what went wrong all of a sudden with this guy.

rayn I took this pic this morning for ya. I had to use a very "crevicey" (just made that up ppls!) rock and basically forced the nem via flow to stay put. He looks pretty well settled but even if he's not, the pumps make him stay. Maybe find something like that? The rock he's on is maybe the size of 2 fists and I'm hoping he stays attached so I can move him around with the rock, if it becomes necessary.

I don't get mine. I set it up and all looks good. Mouth closed tentacles plump, not sucked in itself. Lead it there overnight and it looks great in the morning. Come home from work and he is all goofed up.
jayjigga, hope that works for you. I will add, I see more the the base and it looks more closed then mine ever has. Not sure if that is good or bad for either of us.

That's his night time fetal position, lol...as soon as RB's come on at 7:30AM, he starts to open. Good luck and keep us posted! Mine has had a run in with the mouth of the haddoni a week ago when he decided to fly around

jayjigga · Mar 5, 2015

I'm back in the same boat as you now, but thank God it didn't go into the haddoni...

Rock work didn't work? Mine has stayed put all day. I don't think it is so attached, but didn't move.

I'm waiting for the LTA to attach so I'm only running 2 out of 3 pumps, so the flow is a little out of whack.

Came home today to find the sabae the same. Just being there. However my ritteri and carpet were weird. Ritteri just didn't look "right", can't really say why. The carpet was pulled all the way into the sand and rock crevice it calls home.

So I bit the bullet and pulled the sabae and place in a different stable tank. Couple hours later now and both ritteri and carpet are back looking happy again. Wonder if the sabae was giving off bad juju.

My haddoni has been doing the disappearing act too, but my ritteri doesn't let anything phase him. I've got my Foscam pointed at the sebae, so I spy on him often, lol

rayn · Mar 7, 2015

I buried the foot in the new tank. Buried up to the point of sand right at the base of the tentacles.

This morning he has walked to the other side of the rock. Stupid anemone

jayjigga · Mar 7, 2015

Lol, or we're stupid for thinking they'd be happy where we try to place them.

rayn · Mar 15, 2015

Any luck with yours? Mine is still alive, but still being a pain and deciding to not stay planted. One day looks great, next upside down again.

If you want to continue this on a different thread (mine even is fine), but this thread is for a sebae, not a riterri. Short answer: the higher for more light is better.

Not attached but not complaining about it. He's pinned by flow and seems ok. (Sorry for pic size.)

rayn · Mar 17, 2015

I have tried that as well, no luck with mine. Came home tonight and I believe it has passed. Never did attach anywhere for anything.

My purple LTA was stubborn and I just pulled him...moment of silence for our nems............

rayn · Mar 17, 2015

I tried in three different tanks, two of which I believe could handle the nem based on tank "maturity". All three tanks have pristine water conditions with nitrates 0-5 and phosphate in the -.05 range. Cal,alk, and may were all in their varying points of levels. I knew it was a chance when I got it, but I was hopeful.

I do see DD has one!
