I am going to get my picassos a Ritteri. I've had them before and kept them successfully in a smaller tank, and now that I have a 125 I want to give them a go again.

From those of you who have had them, what do you think is the prettiest color? I'm going to have my LFS order one for me, so I can choose the color.

Also, if you have pics of yours, please post them to help me decide. Thanks!

I am getting a tank to put both of them together
 
IMO,I like the yellows and the tan,brown based ritteri!I like the bright color but like to see a more natural color every now in then!Sorry I dont have any pics.I moved it and "I"
killed it.
 
I can tell you that I like both about the same. Certainly dark red is a natural color, very vivid for H. magnifica. One thing about H. magnifica is that it will display his column prominently and always in good view. I hope I have a male and a female.
 
They are all beautiful. I've had red and purple. I don't know which one I like the best. Here's a couple of pic's of a purple one.

Still haven't decided. LOL

Keep those pics coming if you have them! I think I'm leaning towards red, although I'm told that yellow is easier to find right now.
 
How about a healthy one. They are difficult to find healthy as is. It took me years to find mine. Unless you live in a large west coast city, it will be difficult to find a healthy one.
 
Try to feed it food with a piece of tentacle of another Magnifica (or even another species of anemone that is not bleached) IMO, it cannot hurt but may help your anemone recover.
 
Mine is the same color as Orion's:

Here is a YouTube video of it:
