I've had my Ritteri for awhile now, living alone without clownfish and doing great. I've just added what I call affectionally my little Storm troopers. Now I don't know how many generations of captive breeding it took to get to what my clowns look like. I bet a lot. And I know they've never seen any anemones ever.
When I put them in the tank, not even 5 minutes go by and POOF they all disappear into the Ritteri. Wiggling, dancing, swimming in and out of her tentacles having a grand ol' time. By the next morning they were bringing chunks of food for her.

Instinct and Mother Nature are truly amazing.

Can you guess how many clowns are in the nem?

Nice! I see 5, there's one barely visible at the top center. Probably more.

'Stormtroopers', heh, that's excellent. :)

I have a bonded pair of ocs. I got a ritteri after I had them a year. 4 months later, I have a very lonely ritteri, LTA, and 2 nice size BTA’s.

I was so ready for them to dive right in:(

They spend their entire day inches away.

Maybe I should just add more clowns now?

Anyway, your H Magnifica is beautiful and the clowns must be super happy!
