It's at Aquatic Collection in Hayward, CA. At this point, it's safe to say that they're one of the premiere anemone dealers in the country. I get all of my anemones from them.

I'm heading over tomorrow to take a look and hopefully snap more photos. It's currently in treatment, and if it makes it, it's sold.

Stunning!
I am amazed that it made its way to the retail shelf, this type of colour is very hard to find, especially in the North.

Mentally noted to always buy anemones from them since they treat before selling, thank you!

I saw it today. It's a monster in size. Unfortunately with over 3k way out of my league. And it was already sold anyway.

$400-$500 whole sale. Nice profit.

At least these ones were that much:

Normally they don't treat their anemones which is what I generally prefer as long as I get them a day or two after they got them. This one is an exception because it's such a rare and pricey specimen.

Can you get them wholesale?
$500 would probably be the most I would spend on an anemone.

a $40 tan gig from Petco that's healthy is as good as a fancy one to me.

Those look like blue or red haddoni, but the anemone in question here is a multi-color gigantea.
Also, this one is huge, likely 2 feet in diameter when fully open.

I saw it today. It's a haddoni. No colored verrucae and tentacles look like that of a haddoni.

Nice hot pink color.
Pink Boobies Haddoni (instead of chalice for those who don’t know)

It would not surprise me if the color becomes more uniform once it acclimates. I have seen a couple like this before and they tend to go all red with a slight olive haze in the middle once they regrow all their zooxanthellae and get full extension on their tentacles. Hope it comes through the treatment in good shape.
