Anemone Explosion...

All of the nems have now been tentatively sold pending pick up the first week of 2009. I shall let you know if any of the sales/trades fall through.

I am having some issues with scheduling so many pick ups so here is what I would like to do. Pick up of the anemones will occur on Sunday, between noon and five, if that works for most of you. The biggest anemone and another one that is on a small rock have already been traded, so first come first serve to pick from the rest.

I have had many emails saying "save the biggest one for me" etc. Preference was given to the one person who wanted to do some trading. I shall email the people who are on the original list with my address and telephone number, and hopefully you can come on Sunday and pick up a baby nem. The biggest will still be in my tank but for display purposes only.

I hope this works for everyone because I am not running an anemone business here and am just trying to do this as easily as possible. Hope to see you Sunday!

Okay so I am still getting emails from people who are saying they will be at my place at 11:55, they do not want to come later because they think somebody else will get bigger ones, etc. I already traded the loonie-sized guy and he is still in my tank for display so you can see how they look a little bigger. What is left is mostly dime and end-of-pencil sized and it does not matter what time you show up - the nems that are moving first will be the ones that are easiest to get to and come off the rock easiest. I am not moving my rock work all around and endangering my livestock because somebody wants "that cute one at the back".

So if you want a dime or pencil eraser-sized nem for $10 feel free to stop by. If you are looking for the loonie sized it is already traded. If you do not show up, I have a secondary list of people who are interested. Wow - I have logged over a hundred emails just to try to give these little baby nems a home! Hoping to see you Sunday!

Let them sit and wait in the driveway until 12 noon..

I will probably not be home until noon so early-comers will be waiting. I had no idea how much work this would be. I feel like I am running an anemone shop. Oh, well, too many answers beats no answers at all!

Well, here I am on Sunday at 12:30 and I have not had anyone stop by yet. I went and bought little containers for transport and Rod has already started to remove the baby nems from the rocks and put them into the little containers. I have a print out on the care of rbta's waiting, too, for anyone who cares to read it. Looking forward to meeting some people and think I will have enough for those on the secondary list regardless. Every time we turn over a rock, there seems to be another one!

[Pier Pressure]

I am not sure if anyone cares but the first one just walked out the door. Nice people and this is really fun!

I hope I can get one of these from you eventually!
