where to get a very large red bubble tip?

[jayb12]

my H magnifica experiment for my maroon clowns did not work out, they wont go in the anemone

on top of that its like a weed spiraling out of control, its gone from about 12" across to well over 20" in just a few months!

my 2 clowns are pretty big and need a big home but its so hard to find a big bubble tip. does anyone know where to get a large bubble tip like 10-12" across?

I would say look through some of the Sponsor sites and see if anyone has large ones for sale or post a thread in the WBT Forum.

+1 You might also want to check with your local aquarium/reefing society. Lots of people have BTAs that split and end up selling/trading them locally.

Here are a few sites:

This site offers aquacultured rose BTAs. They list "large" as about 4", but you might could call and ask:

Here's another one:

This one isn't aquacultured (and is very pricey) but is listed as being over 10" across when fully expanded:

(And now you have an excuse to set up another system--to house your big, happy magnifica and another pair of clownfish that host in it in nature, like pink skunks or perculas! )

look in Diver's Den @ Liveaquaria for bubble tips...they usually have good sized ones

If you want a big anemone fast...look into Long Tentacle Anemones, they have one in divers den that is 8+ in.
