LF: Mini Carpet Anenome

[jdoenumber2]

Im in. I have wanted some.

How are you harvesting these without killing them?

The only other thought I had was to superglue a small rock near them, and hope they multiply and attach to it!

 

[fatrip]

I would say the easiest way to get them off the rock I have found is to use a bone cutter to cut the rock out under there foot.

 

[superkat]

if you guys all chip in and buy me two...i'll drive to Elmira and get them.

How are you harvesting these without killing them?

try this:
*remove the rock anemones are attached to (if possible)

*turn the rock upside down so anemones are hanging downwards (it's best to hold the rock above something that will catch dripping water and anemones when they fall)

*with a hammer (or similar) tap on the rock gently to cause slight constant vibrations. The anemones hate vibrations while out of water. It takes a few minutes but they'll eventually drop off their rock

Google (and search RC for) Stichodactyla tapetum

If there's enough to go around I'd take two also. Kat, if no one else wants to chip in for you I'll buy 'em if you want to drive to Elmira and get them!! I lost all mine in my tank move and would love to get some again!!

How big are these growing for you?

 

[Blugobi]

The largest I have are just under the size of a Quater....

[Gary Majchrzak]

they're "mini" minis... not maxi minis.

You can use a flathead screwdriver to pry up individuals.

 

[superkat]

Geo, as soon as you have an idea how many you have available...i'm keeping a list now of folks that want one. Anyone that hasn't PM'd me yet, please do so.

 

[wastememphis]

I'd like one still... anyone going to be in the Buffalo area??

 

[superkat]

yup. i'm getting a list together on .....sorry....YOUR THREAD.....picking one up for Todd, he's coming in from Buffalo to Rochester...so yes, we can get on out to you...and thanks for starting this....apparently...we all wanted one, too!!!!


just shoot me a pm...since that's how i'm compiling the list.

 

[Blugobi]

Ok so I have harvested 10-12 singles and a several that are 2-3 on a rock...(no extra charge for the rock Kat give me an idea on how many were loking at and I am more than willing to meet half way....ill keep you posted when I get more out...so far no major destruction....gives me a good reason to do move some stuff around.
