Sunburst anemone

Saw this ad on craigslist,

Just curious If anyone has every herd of a colorado sunburst anemone? $800 sounds ridiculous!! For a BTA but I've been wrong before

So the price difference with these guys basically comes down to lineage. The Colorado Sunburst was a very particular variant of a rainbow BTA that first appeared in Colorado and had huge price tags. Shortly after, you'd see a lot of similar looking rainbow BTAs using the same name, but they weren't quite the same. A lot of funky Photoshopping and exploitation.

Long story short, when someone is asking big money for these, they can usually prove the lineage all the way back to the original nem(s), so the buyer knows he's getting the real thing.

Thanks @tiggs, that answers alot. And I suppose if money wasn't really an option I would own one.
