looking for an anemone and could use all your expert opinions

[fitbmxdude989]

i want to get my perculas an anemone and i was woundering what kind should i get? i want something colorful but not so expensive that im going to break my bank account........lol

Nothing is gauranteed as far as hosting, but I would get a bta

 

[fitbmxdude989]

ive had anemones before...lol they used to be really expensive i wounder how much they run now...lol and hosting isnt a big concern

 

[lmecher]

Don't know where you are but in a big city like Chicago, can always find bta clones from private reefers at great prices. Tank raised clones are accustomed to tank life and just hate seeing them pulled from the reefs. LFS charge double and online vendors have good prices but when you add in shipping...ouch!
Do you have any local reef clubs? That's where I'd start my search.

 

[fitbmxdude989]

idk if there are any near me, i live in bendersville pa(yes near gettysburg

) up until now i lived in warsaw VA so up here there is only one place ive gone and that the big fish place in lancaster

I was picking up some aiptasia x from my LFS and i went down the saltwater fish section, saw a tank with like 10 small anenomes. Sign said Baby Bubble Tip Anenomes 10$. I asked the guy for the biggest one and it had a smaller one on it and he didnt want to injure any of them so he gave me 2 for 1.
