doin my research on these and have as of today removed them from my current want to have list. Could you help me out a little. What size is you tank, water movement, light. The stories of these are so hit and miss, some are great succes and others are horror stories it seems...and i also read about one that was both!
By no means am I an expert, but from my personal experience/opinion with Ritteri. There are alot of factors in keeping these healthy. One will need a well established tank, good lighting, flow, and a healthy specimen to begin with. If one decide to feed, feed it with clean fresh seafood.
With that said, my tank is a 180. Water movement consists of a return thru a Sea Swirl and 2 - 6100 Tunzes. Lights are 2 - 250watts MH and 4 - T5 as supplements. I don't feed my Ritteri because I don't want it to grow at a rapid pace. It catches whatever it can when I feed my fishes. My clowns will also feed it. Hope this helps.
Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Holiday Seasons!!

Good job! Your H. Magnifica looks to be healthy and happy. Can we get a few more pictures please?
looking good .he is going to be a monster and shade everything under him.frog nems are easy if you pick a healthy one and give them what they need.most people try other ways of placing them get sick ones tank to young and lighting bad but they trycause maybe they read somewere it worked for someone.start with a 1 pluss mature tank with a aged refugium.allways go with the best lighting you can and start off with just the nem and live rock or if its a sand nem a dsb.then let him find his own spot and settle in for a couple of months before you add any clowns or corals.this way he doesnt trample and sting youre corals and the clowns dont stress the hell out of him wich they can and will do a strong healthy nem can take it btu a unsettled one not.feed minced foods the size of his mouth close allot of people feed way to big of foods to often and they are spit up later or not digested well wich is not good for a nem at all.i feed samll amounts of minced seafoods crustation and mullosk eggs with vitamins evryother day till the nem settles in.this i find much better then a large meal once a week .gl and take youre time nems live forever if you take care of them properly but they wont if you rush it .you will be rewarded in the long run if you are patient.
