That is very nice.
What is the price on that bad boy?
EDIT- Sorry, I thought that this was in the fanta-sea forum. I now see that it is not.
When it does split, what would you charge for one?

Not selling until I have at least 8 clones. I paid $100 for it and I got a good deal.
About 7 years ago I bought one @ Gateway Tropicals for $140. It wandered into a maxijet and didn't make it.
I haven't seen one since up until now.

Where did you find that bad boy anyway? I seem to remember Souta's saying that had one a while back but it was gone before I got there to see it.

I heard that about Soutas too. I didn't get that one.
They're around, but I can't say who I got it from.

Or else you would have to kill me right ;) My RBTA finally split this week so the Saltwater Fantaseas blood line lives on!

That's either one of my clones, or one of Steve Weast's. Most likely mine though as all the ones steve brought in about 1.5 years ago sold FAST

Well... Bob said it was a split from the recently demised RBTA that used to be in the SWFS display tank(s) so I am guessing one of yours.

lol none of mine stayed long enough to get put into a display.
If it's a split off of one of those, you can thank Neil.

It is indeed one of the clones from Neil's RBTA. I got it when Lise was still there at fanta-seas

thats a great looking anemone...love the purple foot. Along time ago(prob 6-7yrs) I paid for my 135g cube by selling RBTA to Lisa(think that was her name) from a LFS in vancouver. I bought it orig from Waves, and after a yr in the tank it had split 8times. Always nice to have the hobby pay for itself. I have always wondered if any of them still were around since they were all sold locally along with my pair of black clowns.
either way nice looking anemone

KIS,
Welcome to the site. Were you a member on TRT?
You're thinking of Lise from Deep Sea Gallery I think.
My original Rose came from Reefcam(Jim) around 7 years ago. I think he got his either from Waves or Upscales.

no never joined the forums back then, just lurked around for a few yrs. Yeah that sounds right about deep sea gallery. Ill have to try and dig some pics out, been yrs since I looked at them so have to dig the disk out prob. to post a few.
thanks for the welcome also...hopefully Ill have some plans sketched out to get some idea's on in next few days, but the kids sick...and the wife is too(not sure whats worse...lol)

looks pretty sweet there with the purple foot. How crazy.
Is that anemone just a morph or is it a legitimate species? Pretty bizarre. Not that things found in the ocean surprise me much anymore.
chewie
02-15-2009, 08:56 PM
It's legit man, I promise! :)
It's just a color morph not too common.
CA2OR
02-15-2009, 08:58 PM
ah but it is a sweet color morph. Now we just need it to split.
You ain't been using the food coloring have you!! LOL

I got a forced split from the meeting we had back in October. The main RBTA came from one of the members here. It is a tiny little thing, maybe one of the only that survived...beautiful light pink tips (for now) and I noticed (what seemed to me) a purple stock! Now, I have a POS digital camera and have tried to get pictures. Maybe after this weekends meeting, I will be able to do better!

cut it, cut it now.
Look who crawled out from under a rock!!! Nice to see you around again Ryan. Shoot me your #.
Haven't cut it yet, waiting to get a couple of good feedings down first. I am NOT risking this one.
