Green carpet anemone question!!!

reef_junkie96 · 02/19/2013, 05:43 PM

Ok, so just so all mods know, this is not I repeat not, a for sale post...

Ok, with that out of the way, I have a neon green carpet anemone that is anywhere between 10 and 12 inches across that I am trying to figure out what a fair asking price is. I am not selling here, rather on fragtraders, and want to get my moneys worth but not jim other people, he is a very healthy, good eater, great host, has never ate anything other than the frozen shrimp I feed. He is not agressive to the corals that reside close to him. I set up the tank when I got him and did not expect him to be so large, so some times he touches other corals, but dosent bother them. So what I'm asking is, what would be a fair price for him. I believe that he is a s. haodinnii (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) beautiful share of green, I just want other corals

he has been a kind host to a pair of domino damsels at the same time as being a host to my pair of true percs. And allows my other damsel to play in him sometimes. So again my question, what's a fair price?

ClownNut · 02/19/2013, 05:55 PM

pic will help, dirty green vs neon green can be a huge different on price.

Daniel62 · 02/19/2013, 05:56 PM

Really depends on the shade of green, but any where from about $40.00 to $150-200

reef_junkie96 · 02/19/2013, 05:57 PM

I can't upload pics, I'm on my iPad, and I do not have a computer at the moment. Any ideas how to post pics?

reef_junkie96 · 02/19/2013, 06:14 PM

Here is a link to photobucket. It's much, much, much brighter in real life.. My iPad sucks for pics. Plus this is a mid- day shot. No actnics, just daylights.. I have my tank like this for three hours a day, then the rest has different amounts of actnic lighting, so here ya go, just imagine it much prettier lol

D-Nak · 02/19/2013, 06:22 PM

No link, but Daniel has it spot on with pricing. Petco in my area gets brownish green ones in from time to time, and they charge $35. The brighter the green, the more money you can get. You can also ask a higher price since it's healthy and acclimated to your tank.

reef_junkie96 · 02/19/2013, 07:05 PM

Oops I forgot to put the link in the post lol XD Here is a link to photobucket.

Toddrtrex · 02/19/2013, 07:11 PM

To be honest, it isn't the best green that I have seen.

How long have you had it?
Are you going to ship it?
Have you ever shipped anything before?
(( the reason I ask is because they aren't the best shippers )).

The fact that yours hasn't eaten any fish is just luck, it will happen.

For the color, and local pick up, I would pay around $50.

A better green, could fetch 2-3 times as much.

reef_junkie96 · 02/19/2013, 07:26 PM

I am going to move him tonight to a separate tank, to awaite his hopeful new owner, I will ship, yes, I have done this before. I am aware of their in ease of shipping. I have him closed up right now so I can get him out so I will show u a 20000k picture tomorrow when he is in the frag/sell tank. The pics that I have are of him under strong, white daylights so he dose not look too vibe rent. Better pics to come tomorrow.

D-Nak · 02/19/2013, 07:35 PM

I agree with Todd. Looks like the ones they sell at Petco. Not that it matters though, since a healthy haddoni is still worth money. :-)

Here's the image, BTW:

OrionN · 02/19/2013, 08:06 PM

size should not mater too much. I paid 90.00 for this one 6 inches

Terrance · 02/19/2013, 08:38 PM

The guy who is selling bright neon green haddoni (looks like the pics above) wants $150 for a 12". Vividaquariums sells them for ~$99.

I'd say 35 to 50. My LFS has one with stripes and more green right now for $35. It is an unusual low price though.

reef_junkie96 · 02/20/2013, 10:07 AM

Ok, so I have pics of him in the frag/ sale tank with the 20000k and actnics. He is a real beaut. I will post a link so all shall see.

Can you re post my picture again lol .. This is not my frag/sale system, he Is sitting in my neighbors, but I monitor him closely, as he lives say.. About 500 feet away. Lol any way. He is a little ****ed still, and not fully opened, he has some grape calpura? Poking him and a just plain isnt happy from being moved . So he is about8 inches at the moment, he has magnificent blue/white lines that are viable when he is extended fully under actnics. I love this guy, I just want some other corals.. I need Xenia for my nano cube, and anything else tht I fall for that Is sps/LPS/softie lol

it's an addiction

Ocfishguy · 02/20/2013, 11:01 AM

Cant believe that is the same anemone. With that color you are looking on the higher end of pricing.

reef_junkie96 · 02/20/2013, 11:08 AM

How much would you say in higher end pricing? This not so small little guy has been the star of my tank and now I want to sell or trade him. Btw how many posts do I need to have to sell on Rc ?? And we're would I find the selling forums

D-Nak · 02/20/2013, 11:51 AM

If it's truly neon green like the photo, I'd say $100+ easy.

To post photos, just copy the IMG code link next to the photo and paste it into your post. Like this:

D-Nak · 02/20/2013, 11:53 AM

In terms of selling, I would start with your local club forum. For example, mine is here:

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=392

I'm sure someone will snatch it up, and you won't have to ship it.

I'd say $100-$200 depending on size.

reef_junkie96 · 02/20/2013, 11:59 AM

He is truly massive when open up.. Over a foot if he is really happy.. I am still newish to this site, so I have to figure these things out lol

The only thing that shows up in my local area forum is a group buy thread.. I'd rather have someone pick him up, because I don't want him to suffer, if nothing else happens and nobody around me wants him, I'll probably end up keeping him and setting up another tank d having him be my showpiece. Idk I just need to find someone who wants him. Even on frag traders, I will ship, but would rather have someone pick him up.so do you have any idea why there is only one thread in the grand rapids-Michigan forum?
