Hey Tim, are these wold caught or captive bred?
Tim Marvin
Thu, 3rd Jun 2004, 11:36 AM
Wild I beleive, so you may get some really cool colors. I forgot to add: These should go only to people capable of keeping anemones not someone trying them out for the first time. If we get ten or twenty of these into the club members tanks, we should be able to produce enough to cover anyone else in the club for years to come. I have one left of my own and the other one I had split 4 times and this one split once. So my original purchase of 2 for $165 plus shipping from Alvin has produced 5 total off spring. These anemones will by no means make you a bunch of money, but you could make your money back and have a couple beautiful specimens for your own pleasure! These are hands down the prettiest anemones I have ever kept, and they are one of the hardiest species. I had one go through the overflow box and was torn into 3 pieces, two survived.

hey TIM we could ship them here
Tim Marvin
Wed, 9th Jun 2004, 02:09 PM
OK, I don't like to do this, but I'll collect the money and have them shipped to a friend of mine in South Austin while I am gone. Any DOA's MUST be reported to the wholesaler the same day. I don't forsee any problems, but we all know how it goes.... If this won't work for everyone let me know. I was told they will have them Monday....
Tim Marvin
Wed, 9th Jun 2004, 02:19 PM
OK, change 4,000. How many of you are in Austin? I can also have them shipped to BA in SA.. I can only have them shipped to one place though, because of the high cost of overnight shipping I can't break it up. If BA takes delivery He will have to hold the 6 extra until I get back, unless anyone wants another one.
BA
Wed, 9th Jun 2004, 02:27 PM
i have no problem with holding extra rbtas,but this is a good time to jump in a get a cool RBTA if you haven't already ordered one, or get two :-D
Tim Marvin
Wed, 9th Jun 2004, 02:28 PM
No, a direct ship via fedex. Since it is such a small box it won't save much sending air because of the min. freight charge.
BA
Wed, 9th Jun 2004, 02:29 PM
and they can go into my 35gallon frag tank, i'll just clear everything into my reef tank, and the levels in there are perfect, i checked them this morning

Well, I had to break down my smaller tank last night and move everything to my larger one. Scratch me from the list, I won't have space for anything until I can get rid of some other things.
If one of those splits on any of you in the future keep me in mind if you want to make a little dough then.
wkopplin
Thu, 10th Jun 2004, 08:59 AM
If it can be held for me, then I will still take it. I get back that Saturday. The purple tang is doing very well. He is quite a pig. He does a nice job of bullying my yellow tang school, lots of fun to watch him chase them around.

Anyone wanting BA to bring the RBTA down to them needs to let him know and make sure it is paid for so he can pick it up for you. Only the ones paid for by SA memebers will be going down to SA. The rest will be held here in Austin. Now is your chance to get the free shipping. Thank you to all who have paid and to BA for picking them up for our SA members. I will have a few extra that I may sell in a few weeks if you missed out.

Quick Question... was PM'ing with BA about these little fellas, in all my reading i have never heard of their sting will effect a human? has anyone ever heard of anyone having an allergic reaction to them? so on so forth... I am not a sickly guy... but I have bad reactions to bees and many other stinging insects (A bee or hornet will make the effected area swell like a grapefruit and put me in the hospital if I don't swig a bottle of benadryl right away.) just wondering, I am not overly concerened, just curious.

I just spoke with ERI, the anemonies have not arrived at their facility yet due to bad weather in Hong Kong according to Tims representitive. They do appearently have the ship to address correct as well as Erics phone numbers. They will be contacting myself as well as Eric when the package arrives. Sorry guys, looks like a few more days...

Dan,
There should be 5 or so left that have not been spoken for so it shouldnt be a problem getting one for you. I would like to wait to see when we are going to get these for sure before I collect any money from anyone. BA will be doing a pick up for the SA folks or I can arrange pickups in N or S austin.

Dan and MarkLW I will add you to the list of wants one , not paid - that still leaves 3 or 4 remaining from the order. Again I have not received any word of when this could possibly ship other than what JimD found out yesterday (didnt get into ERI yet). My guess would be these wont ship out this week , but who knows....
RobertG
Wed, 16th Jun 2004, 03:34 PM
Ratboy is that keeping in mind Tim has 7 for himself? If not I would think he only has 5 left max. I am taking two from him when he gets home, if there here.
JimD
Wed, 16th Jun 2004, 04:05 PM
Update,,,,,
ERI dosnt expect to receive the roses untill this coming weekend, they said if anything changes, they will let us know. They were very appologetic. So we're probable looking at next week at the earliest. I know patience is a virtue, but Im fixin to come unglued! :-) I hate waiting...

Sorry it did not work out smoothly for you guys.

P.S. you won't need a wet suit, the reefs are running 83-84 degrees at 100 feet.

Are we still waiting for the imformation on the ship date? I have never had something mailed in. Is it always a waiting game?
Tim Marvin
Thu, 24th Jun 2004, 09:44 PM
yes, still waiting. These are coming from Hong Kong, and it is a waiting game. If you order online they usually have the items in stock and can ship within a couple days. These are being collected so they are not at the wholesaler yet.... I hope they have them soon. When we got the tear drop maximas from Vietnam it took a couple months, hopefully this will not be the situation. At this price though, I'd wait a month.
BA
Thu, 24th Jun 2004, 10:30 PM
ya, for these prices i can afford to wait a while, i mean should i ditch these and go buy a 59 dollar!!!! one at a lfs here,ha!i think not....waiting will make them seem even better when we get them...

Believe me...they are worth waiting for....especially at that price....I'm just riding under the radar till I get back from vacation...The Rose BTA is the ultimate if you want an anemone...they are outstanding.
You're right saltcreepette....LOL...we never grow up. That remark can land you in the "You Must Be a Reefer if..." Post.

I don't mean to step on any toes, but what the heck is the deal? Did the wholesaler ever come up with a date? If any of my wholesalers pulled this with me they'd have to give me an awesome discount.
GaryP
Mon, 28th Jun 2004, 08:02 PM
Its sounds like a case of more orders than inventory. You ship what you can and string along the rest of your customers and hope you can come up with more inventory to fill the remaining orders.
Gary
Tim Marvin
Mon, 28th Jun 2004, 11:18 PM
I'm just the middle man. I am waiting for 7 myself. If anyone doesn't want to wait just let me know and I would be more than happy to refund your card or paypal. I'm sorry this is taking so long, but my hands are tied. Josh has stated it well. Wholesalers for SW life don't always have everything every week. Online retailers post what they have on hand and can ship right away.
BA
Mon, 28th Jun 2004, 11:22 PM
Hey i think the majority of peeps understand and can't wait for them to come in...thx again Tim for giving us a great opportunity to get some great rbtas and a good price..

I just got off the phone with ERI and they said the collector told them they had the order and were just trying to arrange the shipping to LA. It is a small feat to get livestock from Hong Kong to L.A. in under 24 hours. It sounds like we may be seeing these this week though......... :D

Sorry Jason, I got ahold of ERI today and they still don't have them. They are going to look for a new supplier. Anyone wanting a refund just let me know and I'll start the process. I can't give an exact date for arrival and I know some are getting impatient just as I am. I'm starting to think we are alot better off growing our own stuff rather than dealing with these wholesalers. When they do come I'll get a few extra so we can grow them out for future club members that would like one. I am really sorry this is taking sooooo long.
Tim Marvin

I'm Waitin Tim! The way I see it a few things will happen between now and the time it arrives:
My tank will be more mature
I will be a better reefkeeper
and I will have finally replaced that power head that has a big ? mark over it for anemone safety.
Oh, and if it takes long enough, I'll have a nice 115 gallon cube for it to take up residency in!
These are all positive things, so no worries on my end. twiddling thumbs never hurt anyone!

If someone's splits and they want to sell it, I'd be interested in buying it....hehe I have an established 30L (rocks, sand, plants, etc) that I've been using for a quarantine tank...All I've ever had in it is a peppermint shrimp that I took out of the main tank cause I don't need him anymore. I want to change the lights (currently PC's) and get VHO for it...I want is a RBTA and a pair of clowns to put in it but don't have the correct lighting at this moment....Just keep me in mind if so.
