I saw 2-3 of them at the AquaZoo on San Jose in Jacksonville FL about 1-2 weeks ago. One was a saddleback and the other a carpet, but they were very similar. No price listed.

...saddleback and carpet are most likely the same thing.

They looked the same, but there's an unusually abrasive sales person (actually two of them) that insisted they were different. :-)
They are impressive animals.

Wow...as far as I know, saddle and carpet are two common names that cover about three different species of anemone...lol

What we typically refer to as carpet anemones are part of the Stichodactyla genus.
the three that host anemonefishes are: 1. Mertensii 2. Gigantea 3. Haddoni Of those three, the hardiest choice is the haddoni, it is also the most common. It is typically green or brown in color. Be aware that the more exotic coloration you hunt for in the trade, the higher your chances of getting a dyed anemone likely are...

I've heard that, if you can find it, the Mertensii may actually be hardier than Haddoni.

Slakker is correct, Merten's being the easiest of the three, low flow and not bright lights. Vho's or pc's i would assume to be the best, mines under a mh but it's hidden by a rock structure for now. Followed by haddoni, then a long ways down gigantea.

Lol, no, as soon as the clowns found out he was excavated to the small crispa.

You still see yellow turbinaria from time to time also. Those are dyed.

nothing personal, but given the effects of blue light at depth and wb settings on cameras, generating a false or overly enhanced color appearance is simple. you don't even need photoshop to do it.

I don't think you know what you are talking about...that picture was taken with a red filter. Look at the color of the anthias...does their color look altered? Please...

I couldn't get a clear shot of this coral but here is a pic with flash...do you still doubt it is yellow? Let's keep it real here.

BTW, I would suggest you go back and edit your post as I edited mine immediately. I provided the wrong pic to begin with, and was refering to the wrong thread when I alluded to "false" information.
