FS: Stressed RBTA - Cheap

[Mitch]

Mitchell Kaliner - Westchester County, NY

For sale I have a 4" in diameter RBTA that has been showing signs of stress for the past two months or so. Because of the state it is in I am selling it for cheaper. I have been trying to find the cause of stress for this Anemone for a while now but to no avail. The other inhabitants of my tank are perfectly happy, and I have ruled out most everything for the cause of stress. The Anemone has bleached a little bit in the past two months but still has most of it's color. It eats perfectly fine too. I believe the best option to save the Anemone at this point would be to put it into a different system where hopefully it will thrive. If you have any questions at all feel free to PM me. I can provide more information if necessary.

Price: $30

Again, if you have any questions at all feel free to PM me.
Thanks!

Is yours shriveling up constantly and than it will be fine? Mines doing that and I can't figure it out.

Yes, that's how it is now. I currently will not ship. Thanks.

It may look fine in that picture, but it isn't if you view it in my tank.

An Anemone will do that when it is expelling waste. Mine does that but it never has returned to a normal state - it is constantly a bit shriveled up with curled edges.

PM me please.

do you have any cleaner shrimp ?

Yes, why? The shrimp doesn't seem to bother the Anemone.

You will find that at night after the lights have gone out, the shrimp will go to the anemone and pick out any food that it can find inside the anemones mouth. I have seen this behavior before, this is probably why the RBTA is stressed.
