Around me they go from $20-150 and size doesn't matter. I've seen 2" sell for $50 but a 7" sell for $20. Then 5" sell for $150.

Price varies with location,size,colors,if it has a fancy name ect. Lfs in gr Michigan want 1st born still lol they want 150 for one big enough to host 125 for one's about size of a half dollar. There's lots of nice ones online for more reasonable price.

For the standard RBTA, I've had anywhere from free-$30, biggest being dinner plate sized. I wouldn't pay much for a standard RBTA. I love them though :)

depends on the morphs, if you are going to get one, get a cool one!

The thread is about RBTA's, so Rose Bubble Tip Anemones...IMO we're talking about the red variety. Not sure if there's floating misconceptions of the acronym :)

I believe it depends on what the original sold it for. Prices vary from diver to wholesale to retail. Supply and demand. If there isn't a lot of them they're going to charge more. If it's overloaded they're going to cost less. Business 101.

There is an average market price usually but this industry is always undercutting each other till eventually the industry folds on itself and it becomes harder to impossible to get certain things because it then becomes a waste of time for the original diver to get them.

There's morphs of Entacmaea quadricolor, but "rose" BTA would and should mean "red" BTA. Most morphs would be classified under some type of "rainbow" BTA, which might be the misnomer that the internet circulates :)
