Shipping (if necessary) would be extra.

bosborn1 · 03/07/2009, 10:50 AM

So you've got one now?

Hmmmm very tempting.

captain7359 · 03/07/2009, 11:11 AM

Gary, what color? How do they do about moving around?

pimpinitup6969 · 03/07/2009, 12:22 PM

any pictures?

Gary Majchrzak · 03/07/2009, 12:39 PM

now in sump awaiting buyer

captain7359 · 03/07/2009, 01:05 PM

let me know if Scott passes. I've got a spot down at the bottom. Do you thing it will stay put? If they are like the minis I think it would be fine.

Gary Majchrzak · 03/07/2009, 01:21 PM

minis move around and maxis tend to stay put. Both prefer areas of surging water motion and bright lighting. I don't believe this anemone would like a bottom location, cap. This particular specimen was very high up on my rockwork and hasn't moved since I placed it in that spot when we moved here four years ago (!).

Gary Majchrzak · 03/07/2009, 07:28 PM

Scott YGPM regarding this anemone.
FWIW maxis don't reproduce (split) prolifically like the minis.

bosborn1 · 03/07/2009, 07:46 PM

PM'ed ya back.

Can't tell by the pic but does it have as much color as one of the ones you posted a year or so ago did? If so, I'm interested.

gary greguire · 03/08/2009, 12:32 AM

I got to get mobile internet, I was in roch today and spent my reefing budget for the month on the way home. I would have loved to pick up this one....

Gary Majchrzak · 03/08/2009, 05:15 AM

it's still available and I really don't care for shipping reef animals

I posted a pic of the anemone. (Can you see it?)

Gary Majchrzak · 03/08/2009, 08:31 AM

pic was taken in my sump using camera flash ONLY. (No halides, VHO's or other supplemental lighting.) There's a slight reflection off the water's surface visible in the pic. Every anemone has a variation in coloration. I feel it's a very accurate picture as far as how this anemone would appear in natural daylight.
These anemones do not host Clownfish.

Gary Majchrzak · 03/08/2009, 09:34 AM

anemone is sold

captain7359 · 03/08/2009, 09:24 PM

Dang! let me know when you've got another and I'll take it for sure. Did one split finally or was this just one of the ones you had?

Gary Majchrzak · 03/08/2009, 09:28 PM

maxi minis don't split as often as the little ones. This is one that I had.

puter · 03/08/2009, 10:54 PM

Gary,

Have you heard of any of the maxi-mini's splitting naturally? I don't think that I have...

Mark

Gary Majchrzak · 03/09/2009, 03:49 PM

I've never heard of a maxi splitting on it's own. This makes them all the more difficult to obtain
