From a private party. 75.00 dollars.

What size is yours? What do you feed it? Looks similar to mine that I got a couple weeks ago...it's my favorite thing I've ever put in my tank.

 

[arson420]

With the Disc expanded it's probably about 7-9 inches and that's not including the tentacles. I could be wrong though. Might be bigger. I am bad with stuff like that.

What have you been feeding it? I got mine some silver sides that I feed every other day more or less. I throw in mysis shrimp sometimes also. The guy that I got mine from has 4 small ones that have split from mine. Supposedly they split quite often.

Cool anemone ARSON..although i think you paid a bit too much for it..I paid $45 for mine.. here's a pic..

Ya $75 is a bit steep but hey.. I dont know the market for them there . Its still a SWEET looking anemone !!Ireef69 , is that a pic of your anemone when you 1st got it? Mine always had bulbs on them in the store then a few weeks later none. Infact my rbta has split 2 times in a year and its never regained its bubbles! argh!!

 

[Siapin]

Mine doesn't have bubbles, nor did it with the previous owner. His baby rtba's did all have bubbles though.

 

[ClownReef®]

Mine gets the bubbles at times, sometimes after getting a big meal or sometimes when the VHOs go on before the halides..Ive read that dimmer light make the bubbles come up..ive also read that there isnt reallty an explanation on why they lose the bubble tips.. so, they come and go..

I actually don't feed it anything. It get's plenty of light because it's right below one of my 250 watt metal halide. I have tried to feed it but it doesn't grab onto any food.

The price I paid is actually a really good one from my area. There's this really nice LFS that's selling one for about 150 and it's a fraction of the size. This size and color is rare in these parts.

 

[ClownReef®]

I would think they'd be cheaper in Cali.

 

[arson420]

They are cheaper. For a much smaller one.

I don't think that there is an LFS in sac that has one. A friend of mine said that he saw one at this really nice LFS in milpitas in the bay area.

Glad to hear your RBTA is doing better than your LTA did
