Red Doreensis

[OrionN]

I have been looking for a nice LTA, either purple or better yet red. By chance I got a glimpse at a few tentacles of this anemone. Anyway, I got it but it won't get to Corpus until next week. I am not sure if the color get boosted a little or not.

What do you guys think? Is this a rare and beautiful anemone?

 

[D-Nak]

Wow! That's a stunner. Definitely share photos when you receive it.

 

[ThRoewer]

Looks like the two LTAs AC had last Saturday - a pink and a purple. Did you order it from them?

 

[sedgro]

I've got a similar looking one. I think the picture is accurate. The price on it was very reasonable considering the rarity. Good luck with it!

 

[OrionN]

ThRoewer,
I ordered it from AC.
Since you seen it in person, is the color accurate?
sedgro,
Can you post a picture of your's. I think the price was reasonable also.

Wow that's so nice. Grats on the pickup.

 

[ThRoewer]

It looked like that, very nice color.
The other one may have been even nicer in color, but I couldn't get the best view and it was all curled up.

They also had some really nice wild BTAs:

Also a very nicely colored haddoni:

And if someone is looking for some really crazy stuff, here you go:

Minh, that's a Gorgeous LTA :dance:

So what is the actual name of the store AC?

 

[OrionN]

Aquatic Collection in Hayward Ca

Thanks TrRoewer. I thought they may boost the color a little.

 

[Dkuhlmann]

Thank you Minh!

wow that one sweeeet nem! I just picked up a plumb purple haddoni since I wanted some bang in the tank too.

I can't see the original picture anymore..

but the following pix are sick!! is that a 2 toned green Haddoni?

 

[D-Nak]

Not sure if this is the same haddoni, but they just posted a photo via their Facebook page. "Two tone haddoni carpet $150 8" diameter. Shipping available"

 

[vhuang168]

Same one. I almost bought it.

Vincent send me the picture of the Haddoni but I saw a few tentacles of the Doreesis in that picture. I called and asked them to send me the picture of it and then bought it. I think the Doreensis is a better and rarer find for sure

Most definitely. I'm glad that they've been getting in a lot of different types of anemones lately.

I've avoided going to visit them since I have no money--I ordered a custom anemone tank (to replace two frag tanks) and should be picking it up from them this week. I'll see what they have and if I see anything interesting, I'll definitely report back.

I'm kinda interested in the Haddoni.. they said the rim is tan/blueish.. not really purple like the picture shows.

ThRoewer, what was your impression upon seeing it? eye catching?

I was thinking for a moment to take it when I saw it Saturday, but same problem as Derrick: out of money (out of space too).
Also I wouldn't have the clownfish for it.

And as it looks like, my crispa and all my malus may need treatment :headwally:

I think it depends on the light. It looked tan/blue under actinic light, but under more full spectrum or even some red it may look purple.
It was for sure a nice one.

Looked purple to me. Not the dark purple but a duller washed out purple. The contrast with the 2 tone green is very nice. I just don't have the space in the current tank or it would have come home with me yesterday.
