New Anemone On Its Way - Flame RBTA

[princer7]

I have been looking for one for quite a while and finally found one. The tips are yellow with a rose body. :bigsmile:

Should be here this coming week!

Not the actual Flame RBTA but a representation of what it will look like:

Yowzers!

[princer7]

May have to add it's first offspring to the Pay It Forward Program :bigsmile:

[JimD]

Whats that things origin? Is it a hybrid or new species? Wonder why we, or at least me, havent seen them around.. ?

[cpreefguy]

I have seen that at Atlantis Aquarium from time to time, they're just rare

[FossilReef]

Wow. I'd like to stand on that thing. (If anyone gets this reference I will be amazed)

I just spent 20 minutes googling and checking ask.com and still have no clue. ??? -Mike

Oh, and sweet anemone. Please post some of your excellent photos when you get it. :)

[Goofball310]

that is absolutely gorgeous! i used to collect various rbta from hawaii, tonga, solomon islands, but have never seen one like that. other variations to keep an eye out for:

green tips
purple tips
purple body
metallic green spotted body

definitely a great find for you!

[Mr Cob]

Care to share where you purchased it from???

It's beautiful.

[Mrs. z28pwr]

I have the same question Mr. Cob does.:confused:

[sharkie]

[brewercm]

Great looking anemone. You and Ace having an anemone battle going on or what.:wink_smile:


Wow. I'd like to stand on that thing. (If anyone gets this reference I will be amazed)

Only thing I found was a reference from a film "Metalocalypse".

[moe]

[princer7]

eBay :bigsmile:

Only thing I found was a reference from a film "Metalocalypse".
It's a tv show on Adult Swim. You kinda have to be a fan to get the joke. http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=09d513eec10ab9ba2f0919950082d230

Pretty!

[OrionN]

Looking good. please update after a few days. It will really be nice then

[Gilbert]

its probably a newbie question but will an anemone settle next to a coral or will it keep moving until it finds a nice open place?
sorry not trying to hijack the thread

[hobogato]

i knew you would find one :) look forward to seeing it settled in

[princer7]

They pretty much go where they want. No care as to what was there first.

[princer7]

Here is a last shot of one of my Naked Clownfish pair now on the way home to Cheri & Steve in San Antonio.

Thanks Jennifer, just began the acclimation process.....they are sooooooo cute! The pic of the anemone does not do justice. It is beautiful. Thanks again for yours' and Roger's hospitality.

[princer7]

Wow! This thing doubled in size since I saw it last night. So far it has not wandered all over the frag tank. If it keeps up with it's good behavior, I should be able to add it to the main tank soon.

Hope Steve is feeling better and the clowns are adjusting well to their new home.

[Gilbertg78228]

that is beautiful! i love the colors

[Mr3plus1]

That looks very impressive

[princer7]

It has well doubled it's size. Here is a picture from tonight.

wow wow wee wow!
Looks happy!

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Amazing!

[aggman]

any updates on the anemone clones?

~alex

[princer7]

They have grown quite a bit and I may be fragging one of them again soon. The color is just incredible. The base is frosted with green at the bottom of the tentacles, moving to a rose red color then to orange and finally yellow at the tips.

I will take some updated pictures this weekend. The one I have up high as well as low in the tank both look spectacular.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Mine is doing great, awesome colors the brightest reddish/orange I have ever seen, can wait to get it into it's bigger apartment. :bigsmile: Since I have sold the 54g it was housed in, she is staying happy in the 30g frag tank awaiting the new transfer to the 215g, along with her roomies a pair of Naked Clowns.

[phippsj]

I think that is incredibly beautiful. One day.... :)
