Ritteri Anemone: The Magnificent Host for Your Reef

Bring the vibrant heart of the Indo-Pacific reef into your home with the breathtaking Ritteri Anemone. A captivating centerpiece, it offers a dynamic display of natural beauty.

Overview

The Ritteri Anemone, *Heteractis magnifica*, is renowned for its striking appearance, featuring a wide oral disc framed by long, flowing tentacles. Its vibrant column can display hues of purple, blue, green, or red, often contrasting with the lighter, sometimes tipped, tentacles. This magnificent invertebrate can grow quite large, creating an impressive focal point. It famously forms a symbiotic relationship with various clownfish species, providing them shelter within its stinging tentacles.

Care Level

This is an Expert Only species requiring meticulous care and a very stable, mature reef aquarium. Its temperament is semi-aggressive, as its powerful sting can harm corals and other invertebrates if they come into contact. Proper placement and a large tank are essential to prevent issues and ensure a healthy reef aquarium.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 378 litres (100 gallons) is required, but larger systems (680+ litres) are highly recommended to accommodate its potential size and motility. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, temperature 24-29°C, and salinity 1.023-1.025 SG. High-intensity lighting and strong, turbulent water flow are crucial for its health.

Diet

While benefiting from photosynthetic zooxanthellae, the Ritteri Anemone is also a carnivore. Supplement its diet 1-2 times weekly with meaty foods such as chopped shrimp, mussels, silversides, or other marine zooplankton. Ensure food pieces are small enough for easy digestion.
