Considering getting rid of my carpet?

aquaman3680 · 06-05-2007, 12:28 PM

I am now seriously considering getting rid of my carpet anemone. It is a green carpet that when fully spread out is about 13". Along with the selling of the carpet i would also sell the clown, it is a saddle back that is about 5 months old as a pair with the carpet. The carpet is just getting too big for my tank and needs a larger tank! My question is how much should I sell it for? I was thinking around $120-130 for the pair. Is this too much or could I get more for it? The carpet is completely healthy and there is nothing wrong with it, it is just too big! and I also know that a healthy carpet that is known to be healthy commands a higher price...

Thanks, Any input is welcome!

That would be a great combo for a special interest tank. I don't think that I would want a 13" anemone wandering around my tank stinging anything in its way but if I had a tank set up specifically for the pair it would make for an interesting set up. I think that your price is fair but it may take some time to find the right buyer. If you're willing to ship, you may want to advertise it on every site you can think of. Good luck.

Alot of places around here sell the small ones by themselves for that much, so I think as a pair they are priced to move. But again, it does require someone with a larger tank to accomodate them. Good luck, I hope they find a good home.

All right! What do you want to get in its place? You must have something in mind. You loved that anemone!

Im going to post the sale on my local saltwater club! As of right now im not too sure what I am going to get in its place. Maybe a nice clam or just more room for corals!
