FS: Sunburst BTA's (Burnaby BC)
 
Selling some anemones as I am currently a bit short on cash for an aquarium hardware upgrade :mrgreen:, needing some help from the community so I can finally get a sump. 2 available. $300 for 3" sized ones.

For all I know, they retail for about $499 in the U.S.

They have been under a kessil 360 and T5HO's. Which should make them pretty easy to acclimate.

Pick up only. Located in South Burnaby. Close to King Ed's Pets.

The one I have

lots more white freckles.

Thanks everyone!

chi 09-18-2014 11:34 PM

chi 10-16-2014 11:48 PM

chi 03-20-2015 05:43 PM

got some more again. bump.

chi 03-21-2015 01:11 AM

The one available is on hold. please check back in one - two months. If you're interested in one please let me know, I will start a waiting list.

It has also been brought to my attention that "fresh cut" anemones didn't have a decent chance in other tanks, therefore I will not be cutting any for those who are interested, you will just have to wait until they are nice and plump, I also want to keep the same volume of nems within my tank at any given time.

Best Regards,

Chi

Do you have any more pics from different angles ?

gregzz4 03-21-2015 02:17 AM

So, no pics from the front of your tank ?

For $300 I wanna see more pics :smile:

gregzz4 03-21-2015 03:24 AM

Do your nems look anything like these ?
Top is a RBTA
Bottom is a sunburst BTA

Sunburst BTA ?

I don't see a difference

apexifd 03-21-2015 03:30 AM

Trust me.. It's the real deal. It's very nice!

So what's the difference ?

I don't see it and the OP hasn't added any pics worthy of $300

apexifd 03-21-2015 03:34 AM

Orange vs red

I don't see it

I have RBTAs I sell for $50

Guess I'll jack the price up in case others don't see the difference between red and orange ?

C'mon ...

chi 03-21-2015 04:05 AM

First picture bottom one (the exact same I have). The other two pictures do not have any sunbursts. They're not glowing at all and looks more dull. You have to see it in person, the first picture looks pretty much like it is, it looks fake but trust me, it's real.

I uploaded a video here.

Please PM your address to Greg so he can come see it :)

gregzz4 03-21-2015 04:35 AM

Yup, I saw the video

I still don't see the $250 difference

Guess I'm out ...

Good luck with your sales

reefy 03-21-2015 08:26 AM

I will pass on this one too. Good luck

Swing by king ed pets, they have one in this display tank at the door I believe. Its legitimately orange vs the red/green combos. Just like the comparision photo you've posted from reef builders.

reefy 03-21-2015 11:18 AM

+1, I asked Ron(owner), he said its $500.

gregzz4 03-21-2015 07:55 PM

Sorry chi, didn't mean to derail your sale

Just seems like crazy money to me but I guess its no different than what people will pay for a fish :surprise:

chi 07-27-2015 06:48 PM

Final Sunbust sale.

Hey guys, I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I will no longer be in the hobby for an unknown amount of time as I am moving out of my parent's place (they're unable to take care of the tank for me).

I will be cutting up the main nem into 4's and I also have another thread selling my equipments: heaters, tanks, sumps, etc.

The price will be the same and there will only be 4 available. The sizes of the nems should be 3" once it heals as the main mama is pretty big. Your contribution will help me pay for my rent :)

There is also a smaller yellow (rainbow) nem for sale, for those who inquired on it earlier when you guys came to pick it up, it will be 100 each (2 available).

Thank you guys!

Pm me quick!

The 'rainbow nem' that I got is actually looks exactly the same as the one found in this link.

http://blog.aquanerd.com/2014/03/yel...p-anemone.html

It is not as nice, so the price is set at $100.

The tips dont exactly bubble like the picture shows, but in person, you will be able to see some orange and green on the tentacles, and the body itself is almost transparent/violet.

Just going to chime in here and say there is a legitimate different between a sunburst and an RBTA, maybe it can't be captured in pictures...but it's there.

Thank you!

Just to let everyone know, all of the nems are currently on hold. I will keep everyone who messaged me after this post updated on coming changes.

Thank you for all the interest.

chi 08-29-2015 05:41 PM

OK everyone the nems are good to go. Three sunbursts are available. So far one of the sunbursts and both of the rainbows are called for. I'm not sure what happened to my inbox but I don't have the older messages anymore. So I'm not sure who called dibs on the other three. Please re msg me again.

Selling three nems. They're going to be $250 each. Quick sale. I am quitting nems, as you guys can see the aftermath. The main Nem slipped into the power head. Sigh.

Hey guys. Sorry for a lack of reply. My Tapatalk app displayed that I had no new messages until just recently. The two nems are called for. As for the last big one. I'm
going to throw in the two clown fish I have and price it at $350. Please let me know. I also will look for anyone who is interested in purchasing the live rock.

I will also create another thread to sell off some reef equipments. Kessil 360we and vortech mp40.

It was great in the dark side.

-chi
