WTB: carpet anemone and BTA

[mjpelikan]

Howdy!

I am looking for a Red or an Orange Bubble Tip Anemone as well as one of the following:

Heteractis magnifica
Stichodactyla gigantea
or Stichodactyla mertensii

Thanks,

Mike

Good luck on the mertens. . .I've been looking for over a year now without success. I even had my name on a list at MS but they were never able to find me one.

I picked up 3 giganteas at Andy's Animals about 2 months ago. He didn't realize what they were when they came in and I was like a kid in a candy store.

I was lucky enough to find a healthy ritteri at MS earlier this year but sold it to Kurt (Arsenal11) when I took my tank down.

I'd recommend sticking with Andy's for any anemone purchase as he medicates them with antibiotics when they come in. The biggest factor in keeping anemones is getting a healthy specimen. If you find one that's healthy they're no more difficult to keep than any other marine specimen.

Ms has a purple carpet right now . its in the small tank back by the tanks with the eels in them . They also have some really cool looking ribbon eels in right now too .

I've seen purple carpets at Gateway before too.

the purple carpet was around 90$ (i forget) but it was already on hold by the time I got there today...

I was in MS today and they have two purple and one green.
