Unique Bubble Tip Anemone?

bendeng · Apr 26, 2017

What are some of your favorite bubble tips? I once had an acid rain bta that sadly got destroyed in a powerhead (I was so crushed when I found out). Loved the white speckled over the purple/blue bubbles. I know Coral Collections sells them for $99. Looking for a unique addition for my tank and need ideas!

What are some of your favorite nems or nem retailers??

I suppose it depends on what you're willing to spend! I've seem some spectacular BTAs (quite a few from Coral Collection which you mentioned earlier), but they can be really expensive. I've seen people trying to take nice, but average BTAs, name them something silly and charge a couple hundred bucks for a clone. For my money, find a nice red specimen with some green around the base, and baby it. Put it in a high light spot, feed it, and develop the colors. Hard to beat for $40!

Yeah I wish anemones would stay where they are put. Mine moved to the bottom of the tank under a rock. Seems happy enough though, he's been there ~8 months now.

I love some of the unique color variations, but I'm happy enough with the ~$100 varieties.

Yea our Rainbow moves every few weeks. He is so big too. I love Coral Collections variety and their prices aren't too bad really. Was curious if there was another vendor who regularly carries some interesting colors [emoji5] I may get another acid rain once my nano is up and running.
