Acquiring a Rainbow/Sunburst Anemone

I am desperately seeking somewhere or someone to obtain a Rainbow or Sunburst anemone from. I would prefer a Colorado Rainbow, but interested in whatever help I can get.
Thanks for your time,

Scott
 
This might be one, but not sure. Maybe someone can chime in.

If it is, it's 3 bills.

Ditto that ^

I don't see what's so special about rainbows to make them so high priced. They aren't rare but quite common actually.
 
I guess I'm not hangin around were you guys are. Never see RBTA's with a purple/blue foot, green, yellow, red and orange. Maybe you guys find one of these "normal bubble tips" and start making some money. lol
 
If the tips of that nem are really a sun burnt orange color, then it's not your typical rbta, however 300 is pretty pretty steep.
 
I'd keep your eye open on Liveaquaria..Divers Den gets a lot of rose bubble tips with green bases. That anemone with actinics and you'll get pretty close to that picture. With main lights on, def will not be as vibrant.
 
scott,
I saw your post on MI reefers. Locally I don't think its possible. I agree DD on LA has some good ones. I would also check www.ibluewater.com talk to Bob and he might be able to help you out.

on the flip side I'm looking for a purple crispa, keep your eyes out.

I have a RBTA that was just a rose colored when I had crappy PC\T5 lighting some months ago. When I switched to a hardcore LED rig, I can now see a green base, with orange in the middle, and red at the top of the tentacles...

Is this some weird color morph of a RBTA? The colors under the LED when started were still rose, then progressively are changing colors... It's actually pretty neat looking and getting bigger quickly. When fed, eats like a pig.
 
Keeping looking and be ready to pull trigger, took me a yr to find one. My color is not far off your last pic.

It's possible it was a flametip or sunburst that was just faded from being underlit. Not sure though. Just guessing.

Yea, when I got it, had a nice light but consistent rose color to it, but was stretching REALLY big from being under shitty Coralife T5s in the holding tanks at the LFS...

When I brought it home, it moved all the way to the top of the tank within 6" of my LEDs, and hasn't moved since March... It's weird, it has strange color patterns and not one of its tentacles is rose from base to tip. They are all increasingly showing a dark green at the bottom, then slowly moving to orange in the middle with speckles and mish-mash spots all over, then rose at the tips.. It looks like a tie-dye 'nem. Nevertheless, it is happy, extending fully everyday and eats like crazy.

This transformation has taken almost 3 months and I believe it is still happening... Wonder what it will end up as?!?! :-) I'll try and snap a good picture later on today.
