RBTA for sale or trade

[Solitaryensis]

Hey guys,
Came home to find my rose moving and encroacing in my SPS so now he/shes up for sale. I have it in a nano now and would like to give it a better home ASAP. Fully opened it is about 6-7" across with a base of 3-5." I am mainly looking for SPS but am open to trading any exotics or limited editionts, otherwise id like 45 obo.

TIA,
Theo

Theo,

Is this an Indo RBTA? If so, I will take it?
Lmk...TIA.

No, sorry. Forgot to mention, this is not an indo RBTA

what's the difference with indo? how many kinds of rbta's are there? sorry didn't mean to hijack.

where are you located?

The indo ones were the ones originally to come in and were completely red all the way through. A couple years ago, some folks discovered a large source in China but these tended to have a green tint to the base. These became abundantly available and thus, the desire of some folks to have the "original" or indo ones. Theres always the color factor but i think the ones with the green tinted base look a bit better and im not saying that becuase this is my thread

See I don't know that the "chinese" ones are the only ones with the greenish base, I've seen older ones (ie back when they were $200 a pop) that had green in the base with enough actinic lighting. I'm fairly sure mine is non-chinese in origin (simply due to the guy I got it from), but it doesn't have a green base.. again unless I just slam actinic lighting on it.

IMO people who are claiming "rarity" due to indo origin are just being silly. Those waters are close enough that some migration could have easily have occured.
