I have been looking everywhere online for a Blue Carpet Anemone and have had no luck. Anyone out there know of one for sale? If so can you point me in the right direction. Thanks

Depends on where you are, it can take years to find the anemone you wanted. If it is just days to weeks that you have been hunting for one, be more patient.
Ask your LFS to order on for you. That is generally the best way. If you are willing to pay for it, you can aways get the LFS to order them (most LFS anyway)

Are you looking for a haddoni or a gigantea carpet? Shopping online for a carpet anemone is usually not the best way to go. Carpets ship poorly and you are relying on someone else you ship you a carpet that is healthy in the first place.
Ask your local fish store to look around the wholesalers for you. If you live in Southern CA. your LFS will have a number of wholesalers to shop for you.

I spoke to Bob at ibluewater.com and decided to get a purple long tentacle anemone instead of the Blue Carpet. He was very helpful and I trust they will deliver as promised.
My tank is only 6 months old and the long tentacle is a little more hearty. Maybe will switch it out down the road for the Blue Carpet. Appreciate all your help. Thanks for the suggestion on ibluewater.

Just curious... are you in Southern California? If so, is Bob allowing you to pick it up?

I live in Charlotte, NC. He sent a picture of the actual specimen and said the quarantine process ends next Thursday. They will overnight for Friday delivery.

Will do! I'll keep my fingers crossed it arrives safe and sound. According to Bob the long tentacle is much more hearty and should have no problem in shipment.

my recent order with aquacon aka quality marine life
my recent order with aquacon aka quality marine life
I had placed an order of a blue haddoni with them beginning of April. Waited till mid may and no carpet so i cancelled my order. As of today I still haven't got my refund and it's being handled by amex dispute Dept.
I would not trust them. Period...

I agree have heard poor things about them and he bailed on my first order and apparently sold it to someone else. Good luck thought hope it works out. I think you'll be fine since it's an LTA.

+1. In fact many colored carpet anemones are sent out of state by whole sellers in Socal.
