Ritteri colors? Where to buy?

[AliKat]

My cousin is looking to buy a ritteri, and I know next to nothing about them. Is there anywhere online that sells good ones? Also, what colors do they come in? Thanks!

I'm looking for a good one too. Nice ones (especially healthy ones) seem to be pretty rare in the trade. They come in many different colors and are extremely difficult to care for. They do best in huge systems that are set up specificaly for them. They need high flow and extremely high lighting and preferably a tank that has matured for at least a year. Even then many of them die in captivity. Unless your cousin is very experienced keeping anemones and has a system that fits the above description I would look for a cloned bubble tip anemone. They are infinately easier to keep alive and they are not a strain on reefs.

Yeah I wouldn't attempt a Magnifica if you are not an expert and completely dedicated to them. It is also VERY hard to find a healthy specimen in the trade that isn't on its way out. Sometimes they look healthy but end up dying weeks or months later down the road. I would also suggest bubble tips. I've seen bubble tips that have better colors than magnificas. I've seen one with a magenta foot and green tips. I would suggest finding one like that. Good luck!

Yep, sounds a little too much for him right now. He's a student, and though he's really good at keeping his params right, he's so busy.
