Hello guys I've been having these anemones for a few weeks now and one just happened to split on me. Any ID and what their name is? Thanks.

Its a quadricolor BTA,
a very nice one at that!!!

Waffo · Dec 17, 2015

Well that's good to know. Considering the price I got them for. Now I have 3 of them and their huge.
Thanks for the info.

how much did they cost

Waffo · Dec 17, 2015

I got them for $20 each.. They were about 6" to 8" round..

TheEngineer · Dec 17, 2015

Nice score for $20!

Waffo · Dec 17, 2015

Really? How much are they worth. I'm just curious.

TheEngineer · Dec 17, 2015

I have no clue. I've seen LTAs for $20 that look like garbage. That's a really nice nem. If I saw it for $20 I'd pounce on it.

Look at this crazy little guy..

Anyone else have any info..

bairdimusprime · Dec 18, 2015

What other information do you need?? It's been identified. If your trying to find a price point to sell them at it all depends on your location. Some states they sell for $15 a pop others they sell for $90 so everyone is going to have a different conception as to what to sell them for. Truthfully I would just keep them and let the anemone garden flourish. Especially with the fact that people know you got them for $20 I wouldn't expect anymore than that. Please don't take my words wrong as I'm not trying to be vindictive here.
Hope this helps

Well yeah I guess your right.. And no I'm not taking it wrong. I was just wondering. And no I'm not looking to sell.. I like them too much.

Out of the 5 LFS in my area only 2 sell anemones. They both charge about $90. However a guy in my reef club gave me 2 for free. I like yours they're beautiful!

Waffo · Dec 18, 2015

Thanks. Yeah i would do something like that too.. I would give one away. But theirs not many reefers in my area to come pick one up. So for now they are staying with me for as long as I can keep them.

chelltom · Dec 18, 2015

I like them as well and if you ever consider giving some away or selling at a fair price I would gladly pay shipping .

My LFS sells them for $80. I got mine for $50 with a few coral. It was a bubble then turned to a LTA and shrunk after it split:

Which store? i'm in NJ as well,
Nice tank!

Rt 22 ocean gallery N Plainfield. The owner is really nice and the staff as well. My tank sways a lot so they don't just sell me anything and if I feel there's an issue they will take it back. I have had my tank up for about 2yrs now. I'll post a more recent pic later

Excellent, i'm in monmouth county so i go to aquarium care center... just the same as your LFS they put the customer first and make sure you're tank has what it can handle nothing more
