As the title says I am curious about their bubble tips. They give them names like sunburst and super nova but I am curious if they actually look like others given these names as the pictures on their site do not make them look even close. Kind of curious if these have a lineage or are wild. I know a few of you here have purchased Mags from here and I have heard they are reputable so I was just curious if anyone had any input.
 
FWIW: I've purchased clowns from them and they looked exactly like the picture on their website. Fast & Easy transaction!
 
Do they only ship to airports? I would love to get a few fish from them and their super nova bta but dont wanna drive 2 hours one way to pick them up at the airport.

I've used Bob in the past. He has shipped both UPS and freight. Both have arrived safely.

I ordered an angel pair, a mag, and a sunburst bta from him. He has no problem sending pictures and videos of the specimen before shipping or ordering for that matter.

Not the cheapest guy in town, but he definitely prides himself in quality and health.
 
His sunburst is wild caught I believe. The originator of the sunburst BTA is Gonzo Corals Frags, which were aquacultured. Bob's may look orange looking but I'm quite sure they're not the "real deal". Good luck finding a true Gonzo sunburst though, took me 2.5 years. Hope this helps!

Your sunburst is beautiful! I gather it has yet to divide, how long have you had it? Also are you spot feeding to encourage growth or leaving it to it's own devices?

I'm pretty sure that the Sunburst first came from Cherry Corals in Colorado, they are known as the Colorado Sunburst bubbletip anemone. This is what I've heard anyway.
 
$400 for a mag???

how about $800 for a purple haddoni??

$350 for a "super nova" """bta""" ???? really??

some people have that much money to spend on something that much i envy them.

i have 3 red carpets and their total is not even close to 1.

Nope you're wrong, the sunburst is from Gonzo Coral Frags. Cherry Corals got one from him and sold it but he is the originator, look it up.

It's growing incredibly fast, I feed it when I feed my gigs and give it some fresh salmon which he loves. It has quadrupled in size just over a month. which is astonishing to me since the other cut half my buddy has, who runs Kessils, has barely grown, albeit it's in a new nano system he just setup for BTA's. Here some recent shots under MH/T5 combo and T5 alone and the third image was the 3 Gonzo was selling at the time I bought mine, on left. It is more of a bright yellow under LED's and a bright orange/yellow under my MH/T5 combo. Sorry if I jacked the thread but hopefully I'll have some soon for you guys the way this guy is growing!
