looking for beadlet anemones

[aquaruki]

Hi again everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has some information on where to get beadlet anemones. I have read about them here and there over the years, and they seem to be popular in Britain (I guess they are native to that area), but does anyone have them in the US and are there any for sale? I would love to get my hands on one (or two or ...). LFS think that I am looking for the beaded anemone, they have never even heard of the beadlet... I think some people call it the tomato anemone.

I wouldnt say they are popular here, though you can collect them from the sea shore. Native marines are more expensive to keep as you need a chiller and better filteration as very few are zooxanthelate and need to be fed regularly. Beadlet, snake lock and dahlia anemones are the main ones you find here, all are very interesting and colourful.
