OK where did he come from, and why am I so jealous?

I can't wait to get one myself, that looks like a nice healthy specimen.

Andrew, I got it from that Portland (from the URL I posted). I was planning to make a drive down there if I had to, but luckily I found a friend who went down there for business and he was kind enough to bring it back for me yesterday.

She has 4 more of these in bigger sizes. $125 USD and up though I think.

Ouch, that is a lot of bones for an Anemone. I don't ever see myself spending $200CDN on any livestock in my aquarium, it's just not in my budget.

But that's a great looking BTA. Hopefully I can get a split locally in the coming months to add to my tank?

Keep us posted with growth/color photos in the coming weeks.

Default Awesome!
So now you have one too! Your rose will be worth every penny you spent on it not only because it is beautiful, but because the split was from a mother who divides quite frequently! So you will have loads of babies to sell

I wish I could say the same, but I do not know where my rose came from as I bought it from a LFS and never bothered to ask what the source was. So now I have a 14" rose BTA and no split in sight

Please post pics as she grows as it really is amazing how quickly they get huge.

Yes, I have a feeling that before long, we'll have lots of Rose BTA's in the Lower Mainland. I'm sure you won't have to wait much longer Andrew.

The lady that I bought it from just had another split yesterday so she has 5 for sale again.
