Wow! Really? A $1000 anemone!
Besides that it is rare, how do u compare this guy to some common $30-$50 RBTA's?

I was SO excited till I saw the price, I've been looking for one of these ever since I sold my big beautiful purple one which was 18" for $100 2 years ago. 1k is too steep for me though :*(. Good luck selling this beauty mine was my favourite thing in my tank!

Two, mags are not really rare, they are fairly easy to get. They are just hard to get living in an aquarium. Although that's changing now. Magnifica's have a dismal survival rate going from wild to captive. But there has been some progress now with cipro treatments giving them a 90% survival rate instead of like 5%. So you can spend 30 bucks ordering Cipro off ebay, and then 150 bucks to get a LFS to bring you in a ~14" magnifica and take the 7 days to treat it. Here is the thread on treating them. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2271385

General
Thanks for adding some further info on the survival rates ect. I don't think the price is steep.. just take the right buyer. I have it listed on another site and getting pretty close to my asking price. I do appreciate the comments.. even the kind of rude ones by people who haven't appreciated this beauty ;p in person comparing it to some **** you buy from big al's that's half dead when you bring it home for $150. lol

you see mine was 24" in size if not larger and was the showpiece for big als display before it caught fire and i had it for 2 yrs after purchase, i sold it to a lady in reddeer who had the anemone survive a total tank crash, the anemone is currently in a highschool tank as we speak...but i guess they arnt easy to keep right?? seems comparable to me no? so $150 or $1000....ummm ok so how does that not compare to your "rare" anemone?? rare means they can not be gotten easily and as someone who works at a lfs these can be gotten still and i see them all the time on order lists, prob is they are usually large and do not ship well so theres a good chance when ordering it about its survival and then the cost is higher to ship large animals(ie: box space) theres a buyer for everything so you prob will sell it , if the person is happy to pay THAT MUCH for something then i guess its a good price right? but dont mind me and jabber on!!
