Some don’t grow as large, correct? Any suggested ones?That’ll work but be prepared that it could take over the tank eventually
rock flower anemones. They don’t get large like others but still get big and don’t host any fishSome don’t grow as large, correct? Any suggested ones?
I want one that my 2 clowns will host. I saw a ritteri this week at my LFS. The clowns loved it. The clerk said they’re not hard to take care of.rock flower anemones. They don’t get large like others but still get big and don’t host any fish
You stated that you have a fish only tank. Keep in mind that nems need strong lighting too.I want one that my 2 clowns will host. I saw a ritteri this week at my LFS. The clowns loved it. The clerk said they’re not hard to take care of.

I’ll have quite a bit of research to do before I can get one. Hopefully the lights I currently have are sufficient but if not, I’ll upgrade.You stated that you have a fish only tank. Keep in mind that nems need strong lighting too.
Riterri, aka magnificent. Like sand, get about a foot wide.I want one that my 2 clowns will host. I saw a ritteri this week at my LFS. The clowns loved it. The clerk said they’re not hard to take care of.
Not sure why the guy at the shop would say they’re easy to care for. Guess he’s only interested in the sale.IDK a quick google shows ritteri, Heteractis magnifica, are not a beginner anemone and can be finicky. Live Aquaria goes so far as to list them as expert only. I would caution listening to your LFS.
You want a bubble tip nem and powerful lighting. They are photosynthetic.

I have the stock lights that came with the biocube led 32 gallonWhat lights do you got, we'll let you know if they're gonna work for a nem. Like I have said before go for the bubbletips those are your best options.
Thx for the explanation! I have a 32 gallon. What are your thoughts on keeping a ritteri in that size?I work in an aquarium shop that specializes in saltwater so I think I have an explanation. A lot of the time, the larger the anemone, the easier it is to feed them. This is for 2 reasons. 1) Bigger mouth = easier to effectively spot feed and 2) Bigger diameter and more tentacles to catch food.
If you have a large tank or can’t easily access the anemone to feed it, having one that’s larger means it’ll be more self-sufficient.
If you go with a smaller one (like 3-5 inches open), you could comfortably keep it in a 32 gallon for sometime. Plus, that size isn’t too small so spot feeding would be less challenging then a 2 inch anemone.Thx for the explanation! I have a 32 gallon. What are your thoughts on keeping a ritteri in that size?
