Can two ritteri's touch?

[Maximus]

I'm in the process of buying my second ritteri and was wondering if they can touch each other? I want to put them on the same rock and would love to know. Thanks in advance!

Yes

Yes

Yes the only thing i would watch out for is if the new one deteriorates get rid of it as soon as you can confrim death.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I got a bad one. The mouth looked like it was deteriorating and some flesh near its mouth was coming off. Its too bad because the base was bright red and it stuck to my rocks real well. Anyone think I should leave it in my tank?

If flesh is coming off take it out. If you leave it in, it can cause a spike and easily kill your healthy one.

The issue i would worry about is now you healthy mag dieing on you. I a big fan of bacteria transferring to healthy anemones for a sick one.

Thanks guys. I pulled it after about 10 min and added fresh carbon just in case. I hope no damage occurs to the healthy one.
