📜 Backstory
Listed as the 'Starry Night Ritteri Anemone (Heteractis magnifica)' by Corals Anonymous. This is a wild-collected piece given a descriptive trade name by the vendor rather than an established propagated line; the origin of the specific individual is the standard Indo-Pacific import stream, and its lineage beyond the vendor's naming is unclear.
Keeper tips for this variant
As with all magnifica, mount it high under strong light and feed occasional meaty foods; the contrast pattern shows best once the animal is fully expanded in good light and flow.
