Expensive Anemone

[monkeyboy]

Oh, come on now! How many of you guys have actually seen an anemone from Paloa? I can't even find it on the map! :wink:

 

[Anonymous]

Has anyone asked her what the scientific name for this "rare" anemone is?

Probably wouldn't know as it is rare. :wink: :lol:
I'd say either: Entacmaea bigbuckis or Entacmaea cashcoweri

Actually it's Palau and the natives call it a Chetermall.

Check this out-
Open the bottom left picture. Check out the "bleached out as the purest snow" acro he's got going there. 8O
I don't think I will ever locate a "once in a lifetime find" on Ebay. You can either get good stuff cheap, or crud even cheaper. :roll:

I sold only 2 of these this past year for well over $1500 each.

Only found 2 suckers? :?

I looked through all the items in her feedback, and all she has ever sold was some sickly looking acro and tool sheds ( which she isn't the sharpest tool in)!

Here is her reply to my email :roll:

"If you want to talk to people who know about rare corals and these anemone's please go to www.reefcentral.com or call this local distributor who I am in business with at:***-***-**** ask for Ki Hong (Owner)

I asked her, she is of course unable to respond. :roll:

erm... what did you ask her again? About the scientific name? I think I will set up an ebay account just to do that.

 

[Anonymous]

I just told her it was E. quadricolor, and if she thinks it's not then please provide a scientific name. She can't.
The conveniently also states this

" Please feel free to e-mail me any questions you might have, however I have never been able to find any additional information on these in any book. "

Of course the idiot can't find any additional information in any book, there's no such thing as the animal she's trying to hock.

I emailed her to request the scientific name as well, but she didn't respond. Guess I shouldn't have said she was sniffing glue... :twisted:

 

[ricky1414]

Ask her to throw in a shed if you buy the anemone.

 

[Anonymous]

She'd have to throw in 3 sheds.

I kinda figured that would be the case, Jim. Maybe she will get shamed off of ebay. then again maybe not.
Perhaps one of the institutions she has sited as experts that can attest to the anemone's rareity can identify it.
Maybe we need a marine biologist to figure it out.
