Any updates on the carpet from PhishyBusiness ?

I received it yesterday. Serar didnt want to ship the purple because it deflated the day b4 shipping [Honest Guy:thumbsup: ]
I have never seen someone package these things better than Serdar, [shredded paper, sealed(not knotted) triple bagged etc]

My blue did deflate last night [scares me every time]. Relatively normal for a anen to do this with new water/light. Its just nerve wracking. I'm going to be pretty quiet about it around here untill its made it a few weeks.

Wish me Luck!
 
Good luck, Those are beautiful and I hope they survive so we all can enjoy them with your regular update pictures :)
 
I got mine today from Phishy B. (it wasn't posted on the website, I had a standing order for a small one).

It is the stickiest anemone I have ever(briefly) handled. Its tentacles stuck to the bag, my fingers, the end of a plastic net, the small specimen cup I used to put it in the tank, I couldn't believe it.

Once I got the foot on the rock it attached immediately. The mouth closed shortly thereafter. 4 hours later the mouth is wide open and it looks like a purple/ blue sack. Very scary!!!!!

I will hope for the best and if it makes it I will of course ask for help posting pictures as I am to stupid to do it myself.

I did!!!! from Phishy Business.

I have no idea how it is doing, I only have experience with Magnifica and quadricolors. It is firmly attached though, and unless it lets go I will keep praying.

It has only been about 6 hours, it definitely does not look happy right now. It isn't bleached at all, but its mouth is wide open.
 
I am sure it's just acclimating :) I hope it all goes well :) These are lovely anemones.
 
I will take a photo once it starts looking better.

I always have trouble sizing the photos so I will be asking for help as usual.

Minh should have his by now as well.

I was out shopping today and found a light purple for $50. It was in a 5" by 5" cubicle. :eek2:

Its about a foot across right now.......
 
I got mine today. It is a extremely beautiful small blue S. gigantea. Very well pack but it arrived in a smelly and cloudy bag. It is in my tank for 10 hrs now and still have not inflated and still have a huge mouth with filaments protrude out of it.
I will take picture of it when it is looking better.

Minh could you take some when its not looking to good also so we can see the progression. I think that it may help to see whats normal after shipping.

I agree. I think it will give a full perspective when first opening and going into the tank.

Hope they all do well for you guys, Kris and Minh.

Sorry to hear that Minh. I have someone local [Houston]who is bringing them in now if you are interested LMK. The one I bought today is huge; tight mouth, sticky.
 
Here is a picture of him just as the light turn out tonight. I hope but do not think that this is normal after in tank for 10 hrs. I think he will do poorly. I do not think that this is Serdar's fault. He would not ship the anemone if there is a problem. I guess they just ship extremely poorly.
