Finally got a Ritteri/Magnifica

now is the time
Asked my LFS to find me a small Ritteri, it took a while but they finally did. It was not happy with way to little light and flow but they had it long enough to know it did not have a bacterial infection, so I got it. It took 2-3 months for it to settle in and stop deflating and another couple months to regain its color (not the most colorful one I've ever seen)


This is what it looked like a year ago. Still completely white and tiny. Sorry about the bad phone photo.

This is it today!

Can't tell you how much I enjoy watching the clowns roll around in it like a dog rolling on something stinky!

I'll post a another photo shortly, having computer issue right now
 
I am no expert but the LFS had it in less than ideal conditions and it was still alive after about a month. I'm pretty sure if it had gotten an infection during shipping it would have already died before then. Was just my thinking anyway and it worked out even if it did take a while to come back to health.

Very nice! How do you judge if it needs/does not need cipro treatment?

Typically we look for deflation of tentacles, and typically it can look fine for hours/day, then look horrid, and this can go back and forth, so a qt and observation is advised, at least a week IMO.

OP's mag looks great, hope that continues, keep posting pics!
 
I had a QT tank setup ready to go. I never could find a way to buy cipro. My vet (for horses) and my doc neither would give me the rx for it. The LFS store was even afraid to give me some he had because that is against the law. All is well now but we will be building a new house in a couple years and will have to find a home for this one but will have a 6' tank in the new house and will want another mag. for that tank. So how do you all get your cipro?

The nem had not moved more than an inch or so in the last several months but right after I posted here he started moving around. He doesn't really have far to go till he runs out of rock so not much of a problem. I have not fed the nem in the last 2-3 months and it is a little alarming how fast he is still growing. Thought I'd share a FTS.

Going to have to find my lobed brain coral a new home, it has just about out grown his spot. Had to move the Moon Brain because the nem was starting to block the light off it where it was. Now some times at night the nem moves down to where the Moon Brain used to be (to the right and lower) but goes back up top by noon.
