Please come get some anemones!!

[Sophie"s mom]

As the title says, I have WAY TOO MANY rainbow bubble tip anemones. I started with 1, and now have at least 13. I also have quite a few corals in the tank. So I do not want anemones moving and killing corals. I need to "thin the herd" so to speak. I already posted this on here once, but got no reply. I have called around to local fish stores to no avail. Most already have an abundance of anemones. I am not looking for any money, just someone to come get some. I live near coastal Virginia. I am really hoping SOMEONE here can help me out by taking some. I have no idea how to go about shipping so that is out. THank you to all in advance. I really do not want to euthanize them, but they must go.

If I was in VA and didn't just shut my tank down (for now) I would 100% come and get some!

That's a beautiful problem to have!

Try posting in the Marketplace as well! You may get a little more action. :)

If you still have some in a few months, we may have to make a road trip! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Well we had a dino outbreak start in our tank (got covered up by GHA) so we didn't notice it until it got much worse. Once it started to get bad we decided to take all the rock out, give it a good clean and put it back into the tank. Afterwards, we went to texas to attend RAP down there. Well, while on vacation, our ATO was connected to our apex shutoff, and I never got an alert about it. This caused around 25-30% of our tank to drain which ultimately killed our anemone (and circulated the toxins in the tank for who knows how many days). Well we got home, and did all we could to clean the tank up. Week goes by, clownfish ending up getting majorly sick so I had to euthanize it because their was no saving it. We decided after that, to rehome all the remaining coral, and fish to our LFS and restart the tank.
My wife posted a more detailed description in our buildthread but this is just the TLDR ( a long one I know haha)

Chances are very good that I will. Please let me know when you are ready! I know they would go to a good home with you guys! It's not bad right now because they are all staying put in "their" corner of the tank. I do have one Favia that they are irritating a bit. But thats it right now. So when you guys get back up and running, check in with me please.

I really wish I lived closer. I’d love to take some of them off your hands.

 

[Bohemian Waxwing]

Beautiful! And yes I have the same problem, I am going to thin the herd as apparently my local shop takes them.

Well, I am not going to do anything drastic any time soon. So if you ever find yourself down this way. reach out to me please. I believe Charleston is about 6 hours from me.

Maybe pay shipping for her?

I could certainly do that. I have never shipped anything live before. What all is involved? I assume an overnight shipper like UPS. An insulated box?
