Please come get some anemones!!

I wish I lived closer to you - I am always looking for more coral!
 
They're beautiful; I wouldn't give them up.
 
Oh man never again for me, they take over sometimes
 
I’d be curious how small your smallest one is and how much shipping would be
 
I have the same problem. Posted on the local Facebook group and got rid of 6 about a month ago.
 
I posted a couple pics. But the blue is too intense. When I get home I will take a couple with a filter.
Btw - if you’re using a smart phone if you open the camera app while already pointing it at the target inside the tank most will automagically adjust the spectrum to remove the heavy blues.
 
I would take some, but they’d have to ship.
 
Oh wow! I’m in Albany NY. But I would really love one of those, are they still available?
 
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.

13? What I would give to have just 13.. started with one, grew to about 10 (should have been a warning I heeded), then went back to Scotland for 3 months and returned to Anemone hell.. In Austin if anyone wants them for the price of the Life Rock they’re on.. and you can get here before I tear down the tank (best guess there’s around 300 in this 7’ tank).

They are pretty cool anemones when they’re not taking over the whole joint..

I mean, this is a farm. Are there write offs or subsidies for this? Surely this is profitable.

Would love a few but I live in Nashville. I’m in the middle of creating an anemone and clownfish tank. Moved all my coral to my big tank. A labor of love (or OCD). Can’t figure which 🤪
 
Funny because I wouldn't see that as a problem at all. The more nems the better!! I'd help you but Hawaii is pretty far away from VA.

Why not get a small tank and just make it all nems? If it were me I'd go to Petco/smart, get a 20G all in one tank, a couple of cheap LEDs and some rock and just let it be. Maybe add a flock of clowns for some fun. 20210307_235045.jpg

Wow! I feel silly complaining about 13 now!

If you can overnight ship to Texas, I'll take some. I can cover shipping. Perhaps your LFS can help you bag them with O2?

That is certainly an idea. I have no idea how to prep them for shipping. But I will look into this. Thank you. I will let you know.
