except for the reasonable price, yes. Aquatic Treasures in Palmdale has 6. The owner wants $250 a pop though.

Those things are never "reasonably" priced. You can get clones of green BTA's for like 20-40, but rose---always insanely expensive.

That's not very helpful for those of us on the west coast though.

There are several several RC members who put clones up for sale.
Prices range 95-125. Try a search on rose anemone. |

I sell my clones for $60 a pop, and I have a waiting list. Some of the folks around here have my clones, so they can tell you it's not because they're inferior (or small). Trying to avoid making this a commercial post...

Hey Kevin I definately want on that waiting list! How deep is the list rite now? If I pay 80 does that move me up on the list ? Also are any of your Roses splitting currently? Have any of the clones you had split as well? I have tons of questions about the animals . If you could give an overview of the animal it would be great.

Yes, my anemones are splitting (one split last week, so I'm up to 9 clones). Unfortunately, one I was expecting to split wandered and wrapped itself around a fluval intake screen...ugly, ugly, ugly...it'll be fine, but it's going to be chewed up looking for a while, and will use the energy it could have used to split to repair itself .
Yes, my clones in other's tanks are splitting. A local LFS (kind of redundant?) gets smaller clones from a clone of mine all the time. They have about 5 in the shop right now (1-2" clones, $49.99). A LFS back east (CRAquarium, www.inverts.com - that's my clone on their banner) had one of my clones split into 5 (Jeremy has had his clone for about 9 months). MrSandman had his split into 3 (had his about 4-5 months). I'm still waiting to hear on Technobuyer's, Joe Kelly's and Dr. Ron's clones (the others I've sold or given away in the last 8 months or so that I remember off the top of my head - there are a few more, but I can't remember their screen names off the top of my head...). I think my waiting list is about 5-6 people. The store is Advanced Aquatics on San Fernando Rd. in Newhall. Ph # 661-255-2058. I have no problem if anyone wants to buy from them (not doing this to make a living ), but I'd call first to make sure they have some that aren't attached to rocks (the woman who has them brings them in on large chunks of rock, and the store waits for them to "walk" off the rock before puting them into their sales tank).

Kevin,
How big are the clones usually? Do they vary in size or does the main anenome usually lump off equal offspring. Sorry if I am a bit pretencious but, I have been wanting one of these guys for a very long time. Saw my first rose about 2 years ago in a tank I cleaned and could not get the lady to sell me the split for any price. The thing split in half literally and she only paid 40 bucks for it from by buddies old shop. She would not take 100 bucks for the damn thing. People love their BTA's and I am suprised you part so easily with them.

Kevin,
can you put me on your waiting list? It's ok if i'm at the bottom for a while cause i am waiting for the tank to mature anyways and so i can get a feel of this new tank. Just to get a spot inline!

Kevin,
Will you ship to Texas? If so make you list one clone longer. BTW, can you give us an idea how far out you might expect the current end of your list to be? |

I'm still trying not to make this a commercial thread. If you have questions of a commercial nature, please PM me. Thanks!

Kevin,
I do not think this is a commercial question but, what is the waiting list looking like rite now? I am just curious how many people are ahead of me? By the way how is the tank looking and do you have any current pics of your BTA tank? Thanks man I appreciate it.
