Shyaion- regardless of how he does I would get some Cipro or Fish Mox to have on hand in case he does get any infection down the road. Ritteri are notorious for this and having the supplies on hand is a good idea to ensure you can get him healthy if this happens. It may not, but being prepared may ultimately save him.

Jeez Jonty - great point. Should have been first question asked. The tank is not mature enough. I always advise to wait at least 6 months for an experienced keeper- otherwise a year before adding a Nem like this.

Hopefully he will perk up more. I am a bit concerned about your tank being so new.
PLEASE make sure and do not over feed him. He will get plenty of nutrients from your light. I suggest a pea size piece of table shrimp about every 20 days. That has proven successful for me.

Sure, i just tried to geed him and he grabs the shrimp but fails to consume it. Either my ocellaris try to get the food out of him or he wont get the shrimp to his mouth. Gonna try again after 20 days or so. He looks detached a bit, might be moving to somewhere else. He gets better and better everyday. Im trying my best for him. Although im not a beginner tanker (20 years of exp) but this is my first exp on nemmies :) Ill be posting more as the time passes. Cheers :) Btw yours looks amazing. And its much bigger than mine :)

Well. I had my issues and had to do QT twice. Make sure you have good flow and a high place for him to go near the light
He is probably moving and you clowns will def take food from him.
If he starts to get out and become detached do the Cipro treatment.

I think my nemmy got the treatment or whatsoever because he was in a very good shape at my lps. And i intentionally didint buy it to overcome the long shipment. After that my lps called me and told that its now safe to introduce him to my tank. The thing is he is getting really good flow and light at the moment. And he is in the highest rock on the tank. Best spot for him in my opinion. But my nemmy's size is like a hand or even smaller than a hand. He is still very young i guess.
He looks ok in the last pics for a 3 week old tank. Sadly, you'll run into problems later. The tank is far too young. One thing I do notice is he's both light and flow starved. This is what a healthy Magnifica looks like. Good luck to you.
He still didint settle and wanders up the tank and i needed to relocate him. He is now on the middle rock so that he cant go higher. And the pic you send looks like an adult h. Magnifica. This is still a youngester. I believe he will open like this as soon as settles and grows :) I hope he will. Im sending another shot of him. Newly placed. And getting more flow and light right now.
