The picture is from night before last (I was too busy watching some hockey game on TV last night to take any pictures..)

It hasn't skipped a beat. So far, anyhow ... I don't know at what point you can consider yourself "out of the woods" ... it's been two weeks.

After I posted, I realized that I am probably exagerrating a little with the >24" claim. On a good day it might exceed 24", but that's probably not really the norm. "Average" is probably somewhere between 20"-24". The bottom of the base is not that wide around, but the top is, and then you add the tentacles on top of that, and it just LOOKs huge. Of course, the bowfront is only 18" front-to-back at it's max distance, but the confounding piece of info is that the anemone brushes up against both the front and back panels. It also sits at a bit of angle which would of course yield it a few extra inches maybe.

So are you going to build it a specialised tank Shallow, and wide

Even with different pairs of hands in and around that tank, AND being moved to the new house??

I thought Ritts were sensitive... . .

I'm aware of the needs of this anemone, and yes, I am planning my next tank-no worries. I felt that I just had to rescue it from it's former home (the store of which I shall not mention). It has picked up since then, because I keep my flourescents new and have over 210 watts. Yes, I know that you need MH's for these, as well as most SPS, but mine grow and look great. I am planning intense LED spotlight arrays above each light demanding specimen as an experiment. I bought 8000 mcd LED's (30) on the internet for this. I am willing to go MH if the results are less than great. Thanks for your interest.

P.S. My ritteri looks exactly the same as yours, but smaller, and hosts 2 true perculas.

Rich.
