180 Achilles/SPS focused tank

Omg, I'm so excited, just found this for sale. Ritteri Anemone, been wanting one for ages. This one is Super Healthy and over 5 years old in Captivity, so its perfect. Gets up to 18" Circumference. Picking it up on Thursday!

 
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.


 
After a VERY long day of driving and meeting a nice guy. I got home and acclimated this Anemone. He is HUGE. Beautiful though. Lets hope he transitions well.




 
Better give him lots of time to adjust and go walkabout while the tank is still empty. Something that big could cause a lot of damage in a fully stocked tank.

Well truly feel like a moron right now. I always research everything, just tons of research on literally every choice I make for my tank. I didn't do that this time like an idiot. Someone posted on another forum that Ritteri Anemone's don't host Maroons. I knew that Ritteri's hosted a ton of clowns and that Maroons host almost everything, so I assumed Ritteri was on that list. Yep I was wrong. Soon as they posted that, I did my research to find out they were completely correct.

Its possible to have it host, but its also quite possible and even probable that the Ritteri will turn around and eat them. I'd rather not give it a $400 prized meal.

I'm at a loss right now of what to do. Thankfully the guy I'm dealing with for the Maroons is possibly going to let me change my order to something else. Problem is, is all he has is rare/designer clowns. Which isn't suprising considering he breeds the Lightnings. He has a pair of Bali Picasso and Onyx Picasso bonded for like 6 months, would be basically a wash in price, expensive rare perc's. Aren't bad looking fish at all, but no comparison to the Lightnings.

No clue what to do. Got to take some time to figure this out. Definitely learning a hard lesson right now.

Oh and getting rid of the Ritteri is not an option. I drove 7 hour round trip and paid a pretty penny for it. To much work involved in it to sell it now.
 
OK I can get the ritteri off your hands. I mean it would be hard for me, but I can do it. ;)
