Got a new GBTA anemone yesterday. I am lucky it is doing so well seeing how it was shipped in zero degree weather. Here are some pics.
Acclimating


About a half an hour after putting it in the tank.


A couple hours after being in the tank.

24 hours in the tank. The clown claimed his home in about 2 hours.

Wow, I love it. It is lookin good

I have many roses and have been looking for a nice green like yours, I am very jealous. I would have been very worried having it shipped in this frigid weather. Hmmm...my brother just ordered an anemone a very reputabel online vendor (can't name) and they are holding off shipping till the weather gets a little warmer, I think he's in for a long wait. You got very lucky!

I ordered mine last fri. evening from a very reputable online vendor. I am guessing the same as you are talking about. I didn't even think to check the weather when I ordered. I got a message on Mon. that said they are suspending all shipping until weather warms some. I was thinking good idea. Then on Tues. I get another message saying my ordered was shipped. Then I am thinking what the ----. It is colder now then yesterday. I honestly didn't think they had a chance. To my surprise my GBTA and a Swissguard Basslett I ordered showed and in decent shape. The water in the bags was 63. which I was expecting much colder.

Thanks a lot!
After seeing yours, I looked online at this site where my brother placed his order. (I saw some amazing gbta's) His is still delayed due to the weather. I decided to order one. He is adding it to his so I will save on shipping. God help me, I have so many now but I just can't help myself, I have wanted a nice deep green bta for so long. I can't wait, gosh, you'd think I was a kid waiting for santa.
I will post photos when I get it.

Very cool. I am in the planning stages of hooking up a large frag/anemone tank. They will be seperated but shared. It will be hooked into my system I have now.

It will be a while before I get it setup. I just love the look of a Anemone dominated tank. I am planning to have about 50g dedicated to them.
My GBTA seems to be doing well. He has only moved a few inches from where I first put him. As you can see I tried to isolate him on an island. I have no idea if it will do any good or not. Thought it was worth a try. This is my third BTA in the last 1 1/2 years. The first a RBTA never looked very healthy and died after a month or so. The second I bought it was hosting the Saddleback clown I have now. That is the only reason I bought the SB. It made it one night and got sucked into my power head. I am hoping the third time is the charm.
