Is this a good deal?

$100 for 3 anenomes. Is this a good deal? Am I reading this correctly? Would be $99 shipped to me direct 3 day shipping

I have 2 clownfish who are currently without an anenome. I do not know much about anemones other than clownfish host them.

Thank you for advice!

That is a very good deal for rock flowers. Not sure on reviews for the site though (others could chime in there).
RFA, however, do not host clowns.

RFA being the anemome type being sold here? Well poop.

Not sure how much this matters but I wonder how big these are at this price, just out of curiosity.

 

[afrokobe]

its also assorted colors, so it might be a good deal if you got some really nice ones. Otherwise I think its a fair deal

My LFS sells them 5 for $100 $25 each. I bought a pair a few months ago and a very high end coral shop online is selling the exact one for $72. Like. What is with the prices in this hobby

If you are getting 3 for $20, I would expect them to be mostly basic greens/reds. If you were getting 3 ultras for $20, that would be incredible!

And the other post above is right, RFAs don’t host clowns, but you should totally get some

RFA = Rock Flower Anemone, which is indeed the type in your cart pictured above.
They do not host clownfish.

I think the price is $20 each, so reasonable price for claimed ultra colors.
3 RFA for $99 shipped...

A yellow tang at that price should be an instant buy these days!

I don’t get it at all. But I guess people are paying it. Im just not that stupid with my money.

Ah, yep. Your right. It looks like $20 each. I was reading to fast and thought it was a special for 3!

Either way, pretty good deal if they are ultras!

Yeah thats not bad but limit 3 sucks. I guess if you buy other things it might be worth the shipping. How much is the shipping?

some places its $20 others its $40. Again another thing I don’t understand

I laughed at those prices, even better that shop is located in florida where they collect them.... now if a store in alaska was selling them at those prices, maybe that makes more sense

Exactly. There is a guy on Etsy that sells 10 FL ricordias for $160. He even says he collected them himself.

Listen i get they have overhead.

3 day shipping? Most companies do overnite.

 

[old salt reefer]

Petco(yes Petco) usually has bubble tip and long tentacle anemones. Both host clowns.

Rock flowers are not even in the same category as those imo.

The shipping is the biggest issue here. Three day shipping is unacceptable for corals/anemones.
