Bubble Tip Anemone

How hard would it be to bring back Rose Bubble Tip Anemone from Tx? They are cheap out there. I have found about 10 of them 5 to 7 inches in the price from $35.00 to $75.00.

Shipping is pricey. I don't think you can legally bring it on the plane as a carry on. And lots of people locally sell them for that. We bought some from purple gorallia recently and ita about a foot now. I thought it would be cute and small tho... Not sure if I was lucky or not

+1 Houston market seems to give anemones away.

I should have put I will be out there in my truck. I have not found any here that looks like the ones I have found there for the price. A guy sent me pictures of a 5to 7 inch one that is very nice for $40.00. He said it is called a Sherman rose.

They are nice. How well would one survive the road trip? Or would it be a waste of money?

I f you drove straight back 12+ hours they would be fine if properly packaged.

12 to 14 hours quicker than shipping overnight.

You coud do a "water change" that is how it's done by trans shippers.

The pictures the guy sent me is very nice. I want one bad. What about temperature change? How could I keep it stable? What if I put it in a bucket with 3 or 4 gallons of water? It might not be worth it but man they are nice. Red with orange stripes. And the guy told me his has split 3 times this year. He said all of them split often. Thanks for the replies.

Bruce, i have used buckets with battery powered air pumps before. I took an extra bucket of saltwater, and did small water changes along the way(10 Hrs).
