Found this rainbow BTA strain many years ago and loved it for its beautiful color and the large size it achieves. This specimen needs to go due to where it is and is around 12" in diameter when fully opened as shown in the third shot with the ruler shown in the pic... 1st shot is under 400 watt 20K Radiums and second shot under blues... $175 shipped UPS Next Day Air... I'm one of the long timers in the hobby since the late 80s and have been shipping things for over 20 years with 100% positive feedback...

Thanks,

Copps

I'm in Leesburg... I can meet for local pickup in Leesburg, Sterling, Tyson's Corner, or Cabin John, MD, and cut a price break as there would be no shipping.

Thanks,

Copps, do you have any theories on why some individuals bubble and others do not?
 
Do they split very often?

On this strain it's hard to tell. I have so much going on in my systems that I have never paid it too much attention. I have another strain of "BTA" that never bubbles. On this strain, you could see one directly behind this specimen for sale, under the exact same conditions, that bubbles. Personally, I prefer the specimens that do not bubble. Some specimens will grow massive, and some not... again, under the same conditions.

Do they split very often?
They do for me.

This specimen is still available, and massive.

Thanks guys... I have five gigantea in this tank, along with two magnifica, including a solid purple one that's a split from the one in my 1300 gallon... I need to get updated pics but you could see some anemone pics here...

This large blue squamosa holds its own with the anemones... I have a load of large angels in my 1300, so the clam can't go in there. I also no longer keep gigantea in the 1300 as the angels pick on them and make them look like haddoni... :D Still a number of magnifica in the 1300 though as they continue to split.

Good afternoon sir, I was wondering if you had any monster green Solitaryensis for sale?
 
I do. I just shot you a PM.

Also, for others wondering, I have a few of these rainbows available also.

Thanks,

Copps
 
Will check and give an update here by tomorrow night. I for sure have these rainbows available... just need to check sizes. I also have one of my magnifica splits of the blood red base, glowing green/yellow body strains.

Thanks,

Copps

I'd be all over that magnifica split I haven't had and opportunity to get another red base in awhile
 
Interested in large nems preferably, would you pm me what you have available
 
I've reached out to all who have PMed me regarding these. I have a number of these available in the 6" to 8" range, and some smaller. Anyone interested is welcome to PM me, but after this week I likely won't be able to ship until early September.

Thanks,

Copps
