Alright, spit it out, who got this anemone from LA :)

[invincible569]

Well i got a call yesterday evening from LA that my blue carpet didnt make it so it wont ship to me. It was priced at $270 and was a beauty. I dont understand how it could of died in one day?

thats just the way they are, even after QT. the 2 weeks QT of liveaquaria is not long enough for most anemones imo.

I'd like to get one like that if anybody has one for sale? I'm in LA Cal. Thanks.

IME, few haddoni(most other carpets as well) come through wholesale/collection in good shape.

The seemingly better success rates of the green haddoni, and somewhat blues, is likely more due to quantity in the pipeline then anything else.

I am not surprised a haddoni died prior to ship, I suspect more die from initial collection through to first delivery to consumer then we all can imagine. Seeing bunches of magnifica, haddoni, and gigantea dying/dead at wholesaler operations is not quite inspiring. Hearing of another batch die within the first two weeks in hobbyist tanks is not heartening either.

These days I have been trying to put my investments toward critters with better odds of long term survival.

Seriously guys lol.



no.

 

[wicked_NaCl_h2o]

seriously you bought it? or are you pulling our chains?

 

[achillesheel]

any body want a pair of latz?

 

[LukFox]

The sad thing is I can understand how those anemones would fetch so much money (though I'd never fork out the cash, but they're still gorgeous if you have that much money lying around and a suitable tank), but come on LA. A pair of Latz for 900?? They were just around for 200-300 each very recently. Wow.

wicked_NaCl_h2o, GSMguy's "no" at the end of his post indicates that he was joking...

 

[hybridgenius]

Me and gsmguy bought it. I fragged the mutha.

 

[GSMguy]

Hybrid and I cut that motha with a buzzsaw, I'm sending the half to you double bagged ups ground i will ship it out new years eve to make sure it gets to ya quickly

Seriously i was hoping someone would call my BS and own up to buying it.

 

[LukFox]

Ah you sneaky guys. Want to send me a chunk?

Dude the latz are GONE :eek2: .

 

[tkeracer619]

If you put it in a blender you get more frags =P

Awesome anemone.

 

[SethSPST]

Run it through a powerhead, then just sell the water.

 

[GSMguy]

Rofl, @ the blender trick lol

 

[tpdpercula]

GSM I knew you didn't get it but "Ashy Larry" Im not sure about. He always throws the hammer down when it comes to buying the good stuff! Lol

Damn, they had Latz at Live Aquaria? Did anyone save a pic? How much were they?

 

[andymh]

I did. I believe they were $799 but I could be wrong.

 

[achillesheel]

899.99

 

[basser1]

Haven't heard anyone mention it, but, I noticed the second anemone is gone as well! Expensive Christmas gifts!!

 

[invincible569]

In the reef fish forum, someone mentioned the $3700 Conspic Angel being gone too.

LA has been getting in some great stuff.
