Another new ritteri--here we go again!

[Jamie1210]

Ugh, seeing this thread makes me sad. Things were going super well for a couple months. Nicest ritteri I've ever seen. Then, I went to the bay area to visit the parents for a couple weeks, and yup, you guessed it: it died. Exactly how, im still baffled bc my other other ritteri, other gig, as well as entire tank was fine. (Also have lots of sps, acros in there). When I came back, it was still in the dt, deflated and with a loose mouth. I quickly put it into cipro treatment, but it was too late.

My husband who was tank sitting for me, knows nothing about nems and was offering to ship it up to my parents house so I could take care of it. My parents house doesnt have anything reef related! The idea seemed preposterous at the time but in retrospect, I should've tried!

Vacations are so stressful when you have a reef

I am sorry to hear the bad news, Jamie. If you ever run into a similar situation (I hope not, but things inevitably happen) you're welcome to borrow a QT tank and any supplies that you need while you're up in the Bay Area. I always have clean QT tanks (with heater, pump, etc.) at the ready. That also means that if you see anything at a LFS but still have a few days (or weeks, LOL) left in your vacation, feel to swing by to pick up what you need to hold the livestock.

The best investment I've made -- aside from an Apex -- was my HD webcam. I use it whenever I'm on vacation. Of course, it doesn't prevent accidents, but it does provide some stress relief because I can see my tanks.

[emoji37] so sorry to hear that! That was such an amazing anemone, and at $50! I don't even understand how your LFS makes money, they can cost more than that wholesale! Hopefully you'll come across another one as beautiful as that one, that's the unfortunate thing about mags, the first 6 months can be rocky. [emoji20]

Wow. I’ve had every store in my area on the lookout for one that looks like that one since this thread popped up. No luck for me so far. Sorry it didn’t make it.

Thanks for the offer. I will definitely keep you in mind next time if something like this happens again!

Strange, most of the lfs's around here sell ritteri's for only 50 to 60. They get them in pretty frequently. There's usually always a brown tentacle with white tip ritteri being sold somewhere in socal! The nicer ones are more rare, but price will still stay the same.

Thanks. It was one in a million!

I guess that's the benefit of being in SoCal! You're right where everything comes in to the country.

Sorry Jamie

Sorry to hear! That really sucks. Hoping you'll find another one with that color soon!

Retracted. I’m sorry.
