+o0zarkawater Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I hate to do this, but she is just too big and killing my other pretties. Oral disk when open is easily 12" across + 3-5" each side for tentacles. This really belongs in a big tank with lots of room for her to roam and find a place she likes. Then she will open and be happy as can be. I've never fed this anemone, her clowns do it for me. Don't buy expecting her not to kill stuff while she finds a spot she likes. Everyone who comes over is always impressed with the size and color. $250obo $225 This is not a small 3-5" clone you can get every day for cheap. This is a huge old beauty and I feel is worth the price. Our corals are valued by polyps/heads/eyes or per inch with SPS. This is a HUGE anemone. Currently in a 55gal tank with dual 250w MH, and 100w LED actinics. I reserve the right to be picky who it goes to as well, I don't want to see this thing die. Getting it out of the tank might be a PITA too, but we'll deal with that when we get there. Edited April 21, 2013 by o0zarkawater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+o0zarkawater Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I really hate your right now!!!!! Why couldnt you have done this a month ago???? It was a hard decision to even make. At this point it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and messing with more and more of my zoas/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 you don't need zoa's.. or.. how about just made a zoa back up with me and I'll keep some growing for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 +1 to Jake's idea. Who even looks at your zoas? Everyone definately looks at the RBTA. If I had the cash I would but I'm dry til June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Chris, is that a clone on the right of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the cash I would but I'm dry til June. Zoas > Anemone Chris, is that a clone on the right of the tank? Yes, I'll be keeping that one, assuming it doesn't jump into that MP10. Anemone on the left is a weird rainbow bubbletip that I'm unsure of as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Chris, just cut it in half thru the mouth with a razor blade and then you can have 3 clones killing your Zoa garden... It has already been through a powerhead or two and survived, it would have to survive the propagation cutting as well... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 You don't have to do that.. Just slice the foot slightly and it will split on its own.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 John and Chris already want to cut it apart, and say it will be fine! Yet neither want to pay for it / split cost, THEN cut it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 of course we all want you to cut it FIRST, then we will line up with the funds... lol Actually, if I had some takers willing to take the risk and a little more favorable price, I would probably be willing to buy then cut...

+Jakedoza Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It would be better off healing in the tank that it has been in.. If I wanted it cut I'd pay you for it and then cut it and leave it in your tank to heal.. moving it first could be more stress on it.

ckyuv Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If you cut it in 8 pieces I'll take a 30 dollar one when it heals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel Keeper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Let me look what my check looks like tomorrow. I have a 90 gal tank it would be perfect for, and I may make you an offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+o0zarkawater Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Opened up much larger today. Weekend bump. If I can't sell the big one I guess I'll need to get rid of my large red monti and add rock to move corals over. Then sell the smaller RBTA and the Rainbow BTA. Make offer.

Robb in Austin Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 HOLY COW! I just saw this in person and it is HUGE! The tentacles closest to the mouth are easily quarter sized in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
