Description
Ritteri Anemone – Coloured (Heteractis magnifica / Magnificent Sea Anemone)
A true showpiece in marine aquariums, the Ritteri Anemone is one of the most iconic and visually striking anemones available. The “coloured” variants display vibrant shades of green, purple, blue, or mixed tones, with long flowing tentacles that create constant movement and dramatic presence in the tank.
Compatibility:
Semi-aggressive. Capable of stinging or capturing small fish and invertebrates that come into contact with its tentacles. Best kept with robust tankmates and in carefully planned aquarium layouts. Clownfish species may form a symbiotic relationship with it.
Reef Compatibility:
Reef-safe with caution. Does not harm corals directly but is highly mobile and may sting nearby corals or invertebrates if it moves. Requires careful placement in reef systems.
Diet:
Carnivore – feeds on meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and specialised anemone foods. Target feeding 2–3 times per week is recommended for long-term health.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 24–27°C
- Salinity: 1.023–1.026 SG
- pH: 8.1–8.4
- Minimum Tank Size: 300L
Care Level:
Advanced – requires strong lighting, stable water conditions, and a mature aquarium. Sensitive during acclimation and best suited for experienced aquarists.
Top Tip:
Provide strong, stable rockwork for secure attachment and ensure high water flow and lighting. Protect intakes and powerheads, as this species may wander before settling into a preferred location.
