What is this LTA worth?

[JamesJR]

That is a stunning specimen. 300 is a bit much but not exactly highway robbery either.

Now Atlantis has a fire red LTA (or so they say). Fire roses at $20 and below are soooo yesterday

shoot, if they took 200, and he sold the 3 btas and the haddoni...

 

[triggerfish1976]

I was thinking Atlantis as well. If I recall they have had them on their site before and were asking a few hundred dollars for them.

i can't get get rid of all of them, but i'm trying to figure out which ones to ditch. To many clowns for only 1 anemone.

Been hoping for more pictures, but based on the single picture provided, something does not look right to me.

fwiw: based on that picture, new arrival, etc., I might set down $100, but not a chance I would go more without pictures of the column, seeing it eat, attached, etc.

 

[cartman5579]

I've seen the column and it is bright red to bright orange with verracue ? around the bottom of the disk. The disk itself is tan to brown. I've fed it a piece of krill so i know it will eat.

I don't have a problem with the price anymore, as we have figured that part out i think, but i just have to make room for it and i don't know what to get rid of. So i'll post pics when the deed is done.

BTW, what do you think doesn't look right about it? I'd love to know so i can check it out before bringing it home.

That is what I would expect, but is not represented in the picture ;>)

I would also expect it to have moved out of that corner.

I would check the column/foot for pits/erosion, although I normally don't find them eating when they have issues there. Make sure it is actually eating, as opposed to just grabbing food holding it for 5 mins and letting it drift/fall away.

Good luck.

Well they apparently decided they didn't like my offer, so... if anyone wants it for a expensive price, than here's the link

[littleshark]

Its not worth it. I can buy like 3 rose anemone with 300 bucks

 

[davocean]

Who here in San Diego has it?

 

[garygb]

They should have taken the $200 bucks. Cost is relative, but $300 for an LTA, even a very pretty one, is too much.

Salt Water Imports

I agree its to much, thats why i didn't offer 300.00. They went for the bragging rights and wanted to post in public for ALL to see. Couldn't just sell the damn thing to me for what its worth.

 

[traveller7]

I am sure it is a beauty, but current and proper photos required for that price.

 

[ReefingIt]

That's the going price for a red LTA these days. Atlantis has one 10" for $300 as well. IMO, a red LTA resembles a RBTA w/o the bubble tips. I'd prefer the RBTA for 1/3 the price. They can keep it.

Like traveller said.. we need more pics to purchase. I would rather see a side shot instead which is a more realistic color.
