On reeftrader.com I reserved 2 rainbow bta's in which they accepted.
On 10/23 I message them on facebook to see if they bring anymore bta's to the coral swap. They ask if I wanted a 12" rainbow BTA, I replied back yes.. They set up a reserve listing for me on reeftrader to lock in the BTA for me at the swap meet.
10/28 day of show: I pay the vendor, asked him a question about my own bta that split, he goes on to say "the big one you bought just split 2 days ago." With the wife out in the car waiting I left (in a hurry) and it didn't register what he told me. On the way home it 'clicked' I just paid $120 for a split rainbow bta that was suppose to be 12". So i get home and notices it wasn't healed yet, and had no mouth and I am trying to acclimated it to a new tank? So I message the guy back soon as I get home and start acclimating, and ask why I still paid his full price? were is the clone, it should be mine or send me some money back? The vendor then says we don't cut or force split bta's (which I said that isn't the issue, the issue is: why did i still have to pay full price if it split, it isnt 12" anymore) he says: it only split off a 1" clone, you got the best one at the show, I was offered $300 from a number of vendors during setup!!! That was the end of the conversation.
