Well I tried to bring back one ritteri and failed, today I happened to stumble upon another one at a LFS it has a red foot with yellow/green tentacles really beautiful! Seems healthy so far, responsive to touch and tight mouth. Only issue I see currently is that the foot doesn't fully attach, I left the flow off for about 15-20min when I first put it in the aquarium but only 3/4 of the foot is attached, I've been turning the powerhead on/off every 10min but that part of the foot doesn't seem to want to attach.

You got a real beauty there! I hope he did well.

I just scored a nice purple column mag myself.

Hey everyone. My mag was doing well, then it decided to walk after I raised my lights (I think that's the reason) and met my power head. It's still looking good looks ticked but was healthy before so I'm expecting a quick recovery.

Looks nice, I would take that rock it's on and place it higher up so it can get the light it wants/needs, might keep it from wandering on you.

His column is stunning! I agree with putting him higher. I would build him a nice shelf on a tower. Glad to hear he's doing well.

Well I changed the rock around and now the nem is walking around daily. It's driving me nuts but still looking healthy. It's like this one is so high maintenance..when I had a gig it went through a tank transfer and didn't even move an inch. This mag on the other hand seems like it can't be pleased.
