Aneome dead!

[reeferforever]

looking a lot better hope he doesnt die since he has such a pretty color

Is this normal when you order online? It got delayed for a day so

well a delay is extra stress. Nems can certainly look really bad when stressed out.

Where do you live? Is it very cold there? Windchill here is like -43 overnight ha ha. Even 2 heat packs and a styrofoam everything will come as popsicles here.

I would not have anything shipped below 30 degree outside temps ideally.

This vender is lovely though:

Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone’s – Entacmae Quadricolor – Cultivated Reef

You have several local reef stores there. Keep an eye out and when you see something healthy, pretty and in budget grab it.

Think there are 3 reef stores your way. For sure a ton more within a few hrs and 100s of folks online.

Marsh reef is local houston club. Got listing for 3 rainbow bubble tips for $100. Just have to drive 10 hrs round trip.

See if there’s a local club or even fb group. Many times cheaper and way less stress on animals.

I live in south south texas. So its 46 - 50 degrees here. So i think it will be fine.

Bad news its dropping to possibly 8 degrees here. And i already ordered it and theres a snow storm coming.

Anemones do not like being shipped. I bought a RBTA from AquaSD and when I first looked at him I was very worried. Mouth agape, color didn't look great. After a couple of hours in the tank he was already looking great, mouth closed up, tentacles bubbling up.

So I wouldn't necessarily worry about what the nem looks like right out of the bag.

Edit - Saw your later posts... yeah, hole from the mouth through the foot is not good.

I guess there must be a price difference by country, but my LFS sells them for around $15-20.

Wow! Yea I think price is for sure different by country.

Looks just highly stressed. Don’t use a net when handling. If it’s mouth is gapping open then maybe you have a problem
