    Thanks. I saw live aquaria had them for 130, so I was just wondering. My Sebae clown needs a place to sleep. I took him away from a Sebae anemone months ago and now I feel bad that he has to sleep on the sand.

    I would say that is a good deal if it's a healthy specimen...

    I would't get a nem unless it's what you really want,your clown will be fine without one and may not choose it as a host.I added one which is now two and my percs have chosen niether.To answer your question yes,I think $40 is a good price for a nice one.

    Yep, that's the risk you take with an anemone/clown. It's also why I stayed clear of percs., as they are tough to get hosted. When I purchased the clown, I made sure I was purchasing one that was familiar with anemones (he was being hosted when I bought him) to increase the likely-hood of him being hosted in my tank one day.

    Rbtas are getting harder to find which is driving the price up. I think $40 is great right now.

    Why are they getting harder to find?
