Default My Magnificent Anenome has split - selling new addition

I have had a large magnificent anemone (heteractis magnifica) in my tank for 3+ years now. It has recently split and nicely located on an easy to move out rock. The size would be approx. the size of a mans hand extended out. (9 inches x 9 inches)
I know this anemone is rare because I have yet to see it at any of the local marine specialty fish stores. It is considered one of the most difficult to keep needing almost perfect conditions but it has definitely stays strong, beautiful and healthy in my tank I am sure anyone in the hobby with good lighting and fairly good water quality can keep this.

Mine was originally that size and has grown into a football or soccer ball sized and if you have the space and you will need it this will grow and thrive equally. I am open to reasonable offers so please email me privately. I will not accept less than $1000 as I know its value having been acclimatized to captivity and tank conditions.

I have to say that 4th picture looks mesmerizing. All I can do is whistle at the price, had no idea they go for that much.

Well done on the split, good luck with the sale.

$1000 is a typo? Did you mean $100?

Default Not a Typo

Thanks.. this is definitely the centerpiece of my tank and grows rapidly in good conditions. My tank conditions are not perfect either and this anemone thrives. This is the reason for the price and they are not at any local saltwater store that I have seen. Rare and beautiful.. reason for price.

I saw this anemone in person. It's is mind blowing. I've seen hundreds of anemones but nothing as spectacular as this.

Wow! Really? A $1000 anemone!

Besides that it is rare, how do u compare this guy to some common $30-$50 RBTA's?

I was SO excited till I saw the price, I've been looking for one of these ever since I sold my big beautiful purple one which was 18" for $100 2 years ago. 1k is too steep for me though :*(. Good luck selling this beauty mine was my favourite thing in my tank!
