Where to get Malus?

TriggersAmuck · 08/15/2019, 03:48 PM

If I have read correctly, it sounds like H. Malu is better for a smaller tank (based on the anemone's smaller mature size and being more fixed in location in the sand) and *may* host common perculas, am I correct so far? So my next question is if anyone has online recommendations of where to find one, since it seems LA doesn't really distinguish between the two (Crispa) in any manner? Thank you!

Petco. One of their wholesalers/suppliers is Apet. Apet actually sends Malu anemones using its scientific name. So if you have a Petco nearby that gets fish from Apet they can special order one for you. I haven’t seen Apet send a Crispa as Malu to them...yet.

Yeah, but the price is outrageous. I never paid more than $45 for a malu.

Colorful malus aren't cheap.......150 isn't a bad price if it has nice colors, athough it's been a good 5 years since I've seen the bright colored malus show up for sale.
