Nice pair of healthy White Margin Anemonefish (Amphiprion cf. latifasciatus) with Merten's Carpet Anemone
(Stichodactyla mertensii). These originate from a small area on the northeast coast of Madagascar and I have kept them for well over a year. They were housed in my 360 gallon display tank for several months, but I moved them out when I added a pair of A. chrysogaster. They have been in a 40 breeder for at least 6 months but really need more room. The Merten's had green tips in my display when under stronger lighting. Right now, there is a single Kessil 360 lighting the tank. I hate to give them up as I personally feel they may become hard to acquire over time as their range is so limited. I don't know of any breeders offering these yet.

I purchased the fish from NY Aquatic in early 2019 where they typically sell for $899/pair with no anemone. Asking $650 for the pair, including the anemone, for a good home.

Local pick up only.
