Another Sri Lanka Ritteri from LA

[M Woodhill]

Well, for my experiences, the livestock from DD are usually unbeatable but from LA California is quite a hit or miss--at least a mixed result.

But in general, LA is very reliable and doing its best to keep its words. It labels ritteri anemone as expert only and claims it only guarantees its survival on arrival.

Well, for guys who has received this shipment, some got luck but not me, lol. It came in quite bad shape:

see the necrosis

few days later

and then it fell off the rock and stuck in a crevice. I got it out today and put it back to the rock. this time it seems to stay

a tight mouth, a good sign

sorry iphone's creepy photos. I'll do some good pictures to bring out its green tips. it's light purple column, dark purple tentacles and green tips. It looks very gorgeous when seen from above.

Nice comeback, and w/out cipro?

No cipro. I have a gut feeling it will make it so I just let it heal by itself

It does look good, and as long as there is no deflation.

There isn't any but some rotating deflation of tentacles. Quite regular for new ritteri though

Good luck...looking good.

Yup this color morph is what I've wanted for a long time.

As far as I know, the expert only label doesn't change the 14 day guarantee with LiveAquaria.

i never looked at the policy closely but this I'd like to rebate two anthias--quite expensive lol, died on the 2nd day but the rest 3 now eat like pigs

I don't think there are any exclusions or exceptions. If it dies within 14 days, you'll get 2 new Anthias or a credit. Granted you have photo documentation.

Seems to be doing pretty good.The rotation of tentecle deflating,mine has done that for over a year.I don't know why but seems great otherwise.

today's update: I feed it with Mysis and it took em fast:

I really have to bring its color out by improving my photograph skills

 

[M Woodhill]

I'm feeding it mysis daily and it seems to be coming back nicely

how can I get its tip color? this is possibly my ultimate level of photographing
