best mail order for anamone purchase

[reefkeeper]

I want to buy another anemone via mail order and would like to hear from others that have done so. I did this once before and got 2 haddoni instead of the gigantea I had ordered and don't want to repeat the experience. I have 2 green haddoni (the ones I didn't want) a purple haddoni and a green gigantea. I am looking for another gigantea of a different color and a heteractis magnifica. Any recommendations?null

reefkeeper, are you interested in unloading one of those green haddoni? I was thinking of mail ordering one in the near future. Maybe I could help you out if you don't want them. Are they happy and healthy? Do you have any pics?

They are happy, healthy and good sized. I would have to dismantle my reef to get them out so I don't think they are going anywhere. They are a drab olive color so not much to look at.Thanks for the offer though. How do you post pics in here anyway?

By the way, where did you mail order yours from, and where did you get the purple one?
Someone else will have to help you with the pics, I've never posted any.

I mail ordered them from saltwaterfish.com and I was irate when I got them. They eventually sent me the gigantea I ordered but I had to to get tough with them to get it. All three are doing well after about a year now. The purple one was supposed to be pink and was brown when I bought it at a local fish store in New Bedford. He has since closed shop.

I have had success with anemones from cquarium.com or themarinecenter.com. For bubbletips (if you were interested), Dr Mac has captive raised which are great.
