Red foot ritteri

[ChrisQ0904]

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.

Never had a mag eat one fish

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.

man thats gorgeous.. i wish i was brave enough to try one

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.

 

[Reefahholic]

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.

I did have it higher that pic was taken after a wandering adventure

Posts like these make me want to start a nem tank

 

[ChrisQ0904]

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.

Did he heal up well?

Did he heal up well?

Yes it did. It wasn't that much damage just hit a small patch of the tentacles.
