Finally moving forward with my harem tank and of course need lots of BTAs. I got 2 different rainbows from local reefers and was planning to get some different ones online. But I really haven't seen any lately. aquasd consistently had some cool green ones but now none and seems like every other vender are fresh out as well. Just lots of rock flowers. Any ideas why? Is there a shortage? Are BTAs susceptible to COVID?
 
I have a several hundred for sale. A couple different color morphs, rainbows and deep reds. A couple purple tipped greens but not enough for sale at the moment.
How many do you need? I can hook you up with a pretty good deal if you are looking for multiples. Heres a few photos of some
Photo 1: rainbows
Photo 2: Deep reds (right side of photo, 40-50 available)
Photo 3: green purple tip (none available at the moment, will have more soon)
Have some more rainbows in other tanks I can get pictures of later if you are interested.

Not sure where your located but I have a rock with about 8 or 9 rainbow bubble tips on it that I need to get rid of. I'm in NJ
 
No locals selling? It seems like everyone around me, the Atlanta area, is having an explosion in their populations lately. I picked up a beautiful 5” rainbow for $25 this past weekend.
 
If it was me I would not get btas. I would spring for gigs. Darn btas are pests.

I saw some on aquasd today.
 
Are those some PAR38 lights? If so how far off the water do you keep them? And what’s your photo period? Mine look similar, the 18W or 23W kingbo I think. I can’t tell if I’m running mine hot or cold.

Not fair! I live just east of Atlanta and saw GBTA for $80 and Roses for $125 at my two LFSs!

Look on your local Facebook reef group, on mine (in a much smaller city) they are posted all the time (usually for around $20-$30).
