Coldwater anemones and where to get them

[TheClown]

Does anybody at all keep Christmas anemones, silver spotted anemones, California strawberry anemones, northern star coral, or Beadlet anemones.
And where did you get them?
I can’t seem to find them online - I could only find them on gulfofmaine Inc.
I have seen these guys in cold water tanks on R2R, where did you get them

You probably going to need to look up collectors that supply research and public aquariums. Mot many private aquarists set up the cold water systems those animals need to survive long term.

You can find some of the nems at Gulf of Maine and some at Matsu Collections (which seem to be the only true, coldwater/temperate sites left to hobbyists at this point), but I think most people with them just collect their own.

To my knowledge, to get a stony coral like the Northern Star Coral from the Atlantic/Caribbean legally, you basically have to have it come in on live rock.
