Ritteri Anemone

[Julie]

<DT>Heteractis magnifica, Ritteri, African, yellow-tipped anemone <DD><DD>This anemone is usually rather large. Their tentacles are long with very blunt tips that are lighter in color than the shafts. The base may be red or purple but brown is more common.


Good Points- They are relatively common in the market. They are accepted by almost every variety of clownfish.
<DD>
<DD>Bad Points- They tend to move to the highest point in the tank, often up the sides of the glass very near the water return pipe. In nature they tend to be found at the highest parts of the reef exposed to strong light and currents. In the aquarium they will need very strong lighting (metal halide) and very strong alternating (wave) currents to do well. They also have a reputation for being able to catch and eat medium sized non-clownfish.

MH is always recommended for anemone; but my bubble tip avoids the direct light from halides and hides in caves and behind rocks.
