Hey guys,
I recently purchased a massive Ritteri Anemone from my LFS. This guy is huge and has a purple brownish base and tentacles With purple tips. Now, this anemone has been in someone’s tank for a few years and then the LFS bought it for credit and has had it for a month.
My concern is his color. The photo might be a little lighter than he actually is. He’s a little darker in person but still, he has patches of his body that are bleached and the rest is more of a dark brown tint.
should I be concerned and is there anything I can do to help him color up more?
