Hey Steve.

How big is the anemone and how long have you had it for? I might be interested.

I have had the parent for 18 months or so. They have split a few times in that time an this is about the fourth generation. This one split about two weeks ago. Another reefer was supposed to pick it up but he has not and I don't want to keep a tank running just for it. It is about 4-5" across. I also have a couple other RBTS and a GBTA if I can get them out of my big tank. But that has been a problem.

I have a bigger(8-10") RBTA that has never split in over 2 years. I think I can also get out if someone wants it. I was going to keep this one but I have too many anemonies.

How much do you want for the big one? I would be interested in both. What type of gobies are you looking for? I have three hybrid neon gobies to trade, but if they are going into your 240 they will disappear. I have them in a 10 gallon tank and I have to look for them everyday since they are so small, cool thing is they try and clean off parasites off my clownfish. I also have a true perc pair I was going to sale, but can also offer them as a trade if you are interested. I can post pics if you are interested.

RB If you want both I wil take $30 for it too. What are your Hybrid neon gobies? I have 3 blue and 2 yellow neon Gobies in my 240 now and see them all the time. Although the blues tend to chase the newer yellows arround, so they hid a bit. I love watching them clean my tangs. I probably don't really need more Neon gobies. What would you like for them? I have 4 clowns already, so I am set there!

rbdesigns · #7 03/19/2006, 08:25 PM

The hybrid gobies are the blue and yellow gobies bred together. Their stripes are mixed, you can see a faint yellow starting at the head and it finishes off. I can offer all three for an anemone.

laverda · #8 03/19/2006, 08:34 PM

RB That sounds reasonable. How long have you had them?

rbdesigns · #9 03/19/2006, 08:53 PM

I've had them for 16 days. I got them on the ORA group order. If you are interested in zooanthids I also have a rock about 4-5 inch long by 2inches wide. I was bored a month and a half ago and I fragged all my colonies and glued about 10-11 different color morphs on the rock. They started off with one-two polyps and they are slowly spreading.

I'm about to head out to dinner with my gf, but I'll post a pic as soon as I get back, but off the top of my head the color morphs are RPE, GPE, pink palys, demin blues, pumpkin colored, and a couple of others I can't remember. You don't have to worry about any nudis because they all got dipped in fresh water when I bought them. I think there are some white brittle stars and aquacultured stomatella snails on them.

laverda · #10 03/19/2006, 09:17 PM

I will take the gobies in trade for one. I am open to the zoos for part of the other.

rbdesigns · #11 03/19/2006, 11:31 PM

Here is the rock, but all the zoos are pretty much closed. It has about 50 polyps scattered around the rock.

These are in another tank with under 192 watts 10K +192 watts Dual Actinic.

Colonies under 192 dual actinic:

If you don't want the entire rock, I have most of my colonies on frag disks, with about 5 polyps on each disk.

ET1201 · #12 03/19/2006, 11:45 PM

Steve, if you can get another smaller size (smaller than the 10" rbta) out of your tank, I would be happy to purchase it from you. Thanks in advance!

laverda · #13 03/20/2006, 12:27 AM

RB: give me a call an lets work it out.

ET: I am trying to get some more of them out of the tank. I currently have 6 anenomies. I would like to get rid of at least 3 of them, but getting them out of my tank has been the problem. They seam to know which rocks to attach to, that are impossable for me to remove. I expect 2 of them to split shortly. That is usually the best time to get them out as they tend to move when they split. but you never what they will do.

Brian Koyama · #14 03/20/2006, 12:39 AM

Steve,
Let me know how much you want for 2 of them (and also the big one)
Thanks.

Brian

laverda · #15 03/20/2006, 12:43 AM

Brian: I just have to get them out first. I owe you for helping me before. Let me see what I can do.

ET1201 · #16 03/20/2006, 01:16 AM

Thanks for the heads up Steve, just keep posted, I am tired of buying dying or bleached anemone at LFS. Thanks in advance.

dattack · #17 03/20/2006, 02:52 AM

Any pics of the rose anemone?

Wiggawam · #18 03/20/2006, 04:02 AM

Just Pm me your addy, I can get them anytime.

laverda · #19 03/21/2006, 03:26 AM

I have more people waiting then I have anemones. I will let every one know what is available as I get them out. I removed a large rock tonight attempting to remove 3 of them. Sadly broke my brown with purple edge monti cap into several large frags. So I now have a bunch of good sized frags available. $5-30.00

laverda · #20 03/21/2006, 12:52 PM

Here is a picture of 2 of the smaller reds and the green in the backround.

tingram · #21 03/21/2006, 07:20 PM

Have you been able to get the anemones freed yet? I was hoping to get one from you a while ago but you were never able to seperate one from the rock...
Also would be interested in the cap frag if you still have any..

Tony.

laverda · #22 03/21/2006, 09:29 PM

Tony I have Frags available. I have three of them in my QT tank sinc I busted up my Monti cap. They are on the big rock it was on, but still trying to get them to move.

Wiggawam · #23 03/22/2006, 03:09 AM

I'm still interested if you wan't to email me.
