New to me Ritteri

[maxdout]

After a long search I finally found one. I had debated between this or a carpet nem and decided on this one. I've had it for 2 weeks now and it's been moving along in my tank. My clowns didn't care for it for the last 2 weeks. They keep on hosting the dead snail shell in the front of my tank. Finally this morning I noticed the female was gone. I looked all over for her, then i noticed it. She finally found the ritteri. Here is a quick pic of her b4 i left for work. sorry crappy iphone picture.

Looks good! I like the bright purple base.

It looks a little deflated, the foot is also coming up a bit. Has it been inflating/deflating?

I'm not being negative just concerned for you. That base is a beautiful variation.

If you tell the group a little about its behavior, they may be able to help. Could be a bad picture, I know it's at night but it, specifically the foot/base still should look a bit more robust.

Just my opinion, best wishes for you.

Nice ritteri and clowns.

Orion may poke his head in here and advise you but I'd be a little concerned. The good news is that there's some new wisdom on how to properly QT and treat them, or in a good home it may get better.

Ill defer to them and wish you luck.
