Rose Bubble Tip clone for Sale
 

The moment some of you have been waiting for has arrived. I now have 3 Rose Bubbletip Anemones and 1 has got to go (since I don't have my anemone farm set up yet). :razz: They've grown really really fast despite the fact that I DON'T target feed them as I am trying to reduce the amount of organic waste in my water.

Trying to come up with a fair price for this was quite hard. I have to take in a lot of factors including how much I paid for it, how rare it is, how much it costs elsewhere, how much people are willing to pay for it here, etc. So based on some factors, I've come up with $115.

There is a waiting list here so I'll go down the waiting list and the first person on the list nearest to the top can buy it for $115 and pick it up from me (no shipping please).

The list was:
1. Ryland
2. Sam
3. Andrew (CanadaWest)
4. Robert (Pirate)
5. Delphinus
6. Pocilipora
7. Tigger
8. EmilyB
9. Bongy
10. Sea Gnome.

Since Ryland doesn't have a tank set up, he will have to wait for the next clone. I already have my first clone (Rose #2) so I can cross myself off the list.

The one for sale is the top one in this pic:

Once I find a buyer, it might take a few weeks to get the amenome onto a smaller rock so be aware of that.

How about some tip on what makes them split so fast ?



Wendell

I would say PC or MH lighting makes no difference. Probably stress causes them to split. So either put them in a small tank or add an anemone crab. My theory is that 2 smaller anemones fit in small spaces better than a larger one so they split to have a better chance at survival. Also, they seem to do fine despite high nitrate and low unstable PH (I'm not recommending everyone go and do that though).

Boy how I wish. I remember that post you made - really caught my eye. Maybe Tony or Deb can fly there and pick up :rolleyes: :lol: :mrgreen: Congrats to the lucky one !

Well, I made sure Sam knew I was coming out there. So if Tony or I fall in line..... :mrgreen: but I think this one is gone.................. :frown:
