Looking for a rose bubble tip anemone

truben1010 · Sep 13, 2019

I've been looking everywhere for a nice rose bubble tip anemone but they are so expensive everywhere.
Does anyone have any that they'd sell for cheap or give for free (that'd be so awesome!) and I can pay for shipping. I'm wanting to pay for 3 day priority mail shipping if possible.

First, it would need to ship overnight. It’s doubtful it would survive 3 days in a bag.

Second, is your tank ready for a nem, and are YOU ready for a nem?

Third, where are you located?

i would pay overnight shipping if i was able to get one for super cheap or free. I have ordered fish(actually last moth that lasted 5 days in a bag due to a delay) it was so awesome cause he's still alive in qt.
Yes, I have had a reef tank for 2 years and some months now and i have been wanting one. I am located in Wickes, Arkansas.

An anemone would never survive 3 day. They are very sensitive. 100% needs to be overnight air.

It is not common for something to live that long in shipping. Just curious, what kind of fish is it? It’s amazing it lived that long.

It was/is a yellow tang. He came in looking perfect and still is!

Wow! That’s amazing. Yellow Tangs are super hardy fish though. Congrats on the healthy tang

Must be a local thing. It seems there's always one on sale for reasonable price (~$30) here in the DC area. I gave two out for free this past weekend. Not that I couldn't sell them, but I like to help the (reefer) community whenever I can.
