Best place to purchase BTA

[Craig731]

I was looking for a BTA after a good amount of research. My local fish stores don't seem to ever have a good stock of anemones that I trust, mostly consisting of condis only.

Is there a trusted online dealer for a good selection? All I've found so far was diver's den on Live Aquaria.

I really like the GBTA at pacificeastaquaculture.com they are a very reputable dealer, probably number 2 behind liveaquaria.

I have purchased one from Pacificeaseaquaculture.com, unfortunately they don't have any listed for sale right now.
I have made purchases from Dr Foster and Smith in the past, (corals) and have been very happy. They have several anemones listed for sale. The anemones listed in diver's den are awefully expensive. Look here, you can't see the actual anemone you will get but I would trust this store from persopnal experience and
their good reputation.

Good Luck : )

Appreciate the replies. As far as none available right now that won't be an issue. I have no problems waiting on the right one.

I'll keep trolling pacific east and live aquaria. Was hoping to get a rose for under the liveaquaria's avg $160 pricetag though.

you could always post on the (pacific east aquaculture) dr. mac and sons forum and ask when they will have more RBTA available. They normally respond within 24hrs.

You may also be able to find aquarists in your area that have clones they'd be willing to part with. IME the local hobbyist scene is the cheapest way to pick up new livestock

pacific east does have some beautiful looking green btas and ltas. Maybe you were looking in the wrong section of the website Lmecher. They are in the fish and more section.

I have ordered from Live Aquariua before but never had any of the anemones survive. My suggestion is check with your local reef club members or wait for the LFS to get one in that you like.
