Doddie Dowswell - 2011-03-08 Just bought a Ritteri Anemone and last night my husband found it on the tank filter. Don't know how long he was being sucked up......not sure if it is okay. How do I know if it is going to live? What can I do to help it? Any advice and or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Doddie

Editor's Note - 2011-03-08 If it is not torn up too bad, it should be okay. Give it a quiet place in the aquarium and see if it attaches itself. Some anemones will recover from some pretty bad injuries, others will not.
Anonymous - 2011-06-16 Thank you for your response. The ritteri anemone did survive. Within eight hours it looked 85% better. We got a guard for our filter so it won't happen again. We were lucky, now it is happy as can be in our tank.
David Brough - 2011-06-25 Oh yeah! Just what the doctor likes to hear. Great news.
One plastic part of one tank that I take care fell in the base of a Ritteri anemone and when I tried to take it out I touch the base of the Anemone by mistake. I didn't pull or anything else but it started to shrink. Is it in danger?... Is it going to die?... Please HELP!

Editor's Note - 2010-10-05 It should be fine. Anemone's often recoil like that when touched as a defense mechanism. It should bounce back up soon enough.
kyle christensen - 2010-04-23 Just bought a mag. anemone and its started to dissolve, the pet store said it could be water temp but hes the most helpful. What might it be?
First called the Ritteri Anemone, it is now known as the Magnificent Anemone... And it sure is!
My ritteri will not stay full, it always looks flat and I don't know why, could anyone help me. Water is good.
