I just purchased a Gonzo Colorado Sunburst Anemone. I can hardly wait to see it in my tank. I think it was a good deal. I paid $125.00 plus shipping. Was this a good purchase or did I pay too much? I don't know what the Gonzo part of the name means can someone fill me in?

I think gonzo is the name of the vendor your nem is lineaged to. Not sure what the market is like for BTA but that sounds like a great deal!

The price of CSBs has plummeted from a high of well over $1k to less than $200, depending on location. That said, $125 is the lowest I've seen. Nice pick up.

ARC is the only vendor I've seen selling this lineage and it looks like that was your source. Congrats!

I paid roughly 10x that amount on a tiny baby about 3 or 4 years ago. That sounds like a heck of a deal even with the going rate of csbs now. At least they grow like weeds even without cutting.

As a follow up. I received my order yesterday. I spent some time getting everything acclimated. The Nem was looking stressed and shrunken up. I turned off the light, left it alone and went to bed. This morning I took a quick look to see how everything was doing. The Anemone is looking a whole lot better. It's nice and puffy and the tentacles are bubbled up. I took a quick photo to share. It's the not the best picture but later when I have more time, I will get some better images of it. I did take a quick look at the bottom of the foot before putting it in the tank. I am not exactly sure of what I was supposed to be looking for a far as marbling goes. The foot did look splotchy and patterned. Either way I am completely satisfied and happy with my Anemone. Next come some Black Storm Clowns. I found a clown fish breeder who has them for a reasonable price.
