Ritteri and Magnifica are they the same thing??

[wigman27]

This may seem a real dumb question to most but are they the same thing and that is the best anemones for Ocellaris aren't they???

Yes. A Ritteri anenome (common name) is Heteractis magnifica (scientific name).

H. magnifica is one of the toughest anemones to acclimate to captivity.

A. ocellaris has no trouble calling E. quadricolor(BTAs) home. Master the BTAs before attempting H. mag.

Good luck.

+3. They are the same thing. ONLY to be attempted by expert aquarists.
