Ritteri Anemone - Coloured

The Heteractis magnifica, also known as the Ritteri Anemone - Coloured, is a mesmerizing species that brings a dynamic burst of colour to any reef aquarium. This species is celebrated for its distinctive colouration, which can vary from a breathtaking blue to a radiant purple, making it a remarkable feature in any marine setting. As a species requiring expert care, the Heteractis magnifica flourishes in a reef sand bed type of tank, where it can burrow and anchor itself securely. This species is recognized for its intriguing natural behaviour, often seen exploring the tank to find the ideal spot for its comfort and growth. The Heteractis magnifica has a symbiotic relationship with the zooxanthellae algae living within its tissues. This relationship not only supplies the anemone with a significant portion of its nutrients but also enhances its vibrant colouration. In terms of diet, the Heteractis magnifica is carnivorous. It flourishes on a diet of meaty foods, and feeding it with specific examples from Gamma Foods, such as Gamma NutraPellets Marine Complete or Gamma Frozen Foods, can ensure it receives all the necessary nutrients for optimal health and colouration. Being a reef-safe species, the Heteractis magnifica is an ideal choice for hobbyists aiming to create a balanced and visually striking marine environment. However, it's worth noting that this species is a rare sight, making it a coveted addition for any aquarium enthusiast. At Tropical Marine Centre, we source our Heteractis magnifica from our exclusive supply line, ensuring that each specimen is of the highest quality. While this species requires a high level of care, the reward is a truly magnificent and vibrant addition to your marine aquarium.
