📜 Backstory
Sold as 'Yellow Tip Ritteri' by vendors such as AquariumFish.com and described at FreshMarine as the 'yellow tipped long tentacle anemone.' This is a natural wild color morph collected across the Indo-Pacific; tentacle tip color varies by collection locale, so yellow-tip and purple-tip pieces are simply different wild origins rather than designer lineages.
Keeper tips for this variant
Position it where it gets both strong light and direct flow on the tentacle tips; magnifica are open-water anemones that color up and feed best in a high-flow lifestyle, unlike sand-dwelling species.
