I am looking to get a long tentacle anemone or two ;) but I am not sure the best places to buy them online. I am not looking for any crazy expensive types or anything but a having color options would be nice. Unlucky for me there are no local places that sell them. Any help or point to the right direction would be siiiiiick.

Petco by me almost always have them(there has to be 6-7 within 1/2 hour drive of me).
Hint: If LTA isn't attached DON'T buy it. In other words if it's just sitting on the bottom or laying on it's side at store, DON'T buy it. LTAs get foot damage during collection/shipping and I haven't heard of anyone curing that yet. Make sure to take care(slow/ long time) in removing it from it's attachment point(most likely glass bottom under gravel) in dealer tank.
Coming up on 2 years of having mine now. Dam,that piece of Idaho grape monti to the left is now about 10" by 6".
The beauty I have LOVES to eat(LRS frozen nano) 2-3 times a week.

I have a purple LTA. I have never had much luck finding them online. They do not make for good aquaculture as they don't split in captivity like BTAs. I found mine at a coral expo.
