+Eckreef Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have been looking for a RBTA and doing some research. There is a "Sherman" variant which is a longterm clone originating from Sherman TX and is a deeper red color, hardy, and spits frequently. I have found a reputable reefer in DFW area that has 10 available and is selling them for $100 each. I am driving up next Sunday, March 28th, to pick one up and thought I would see if anyone else is interested. I can reserve more and will bring back for no additional cost. Let me know. John Here is more info on the Sherman and the guy I am getting them from, Mickey. Sherman info Sherman RBTA for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjohn Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I think the ones that dav_nolen in Hutto has look exactly like that. Someone here just bought one of his clones a week or so ago. Can anyone verify this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReefGazer Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have never seen him give a Discount. But his RBTA's are always nice and available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav_nolen Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I got it from a good friend in Houston, Ive had the anemone for around 5 years, its split several times. Its not a "sherman," i dont think....its just a really nice colorful rbta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefer Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 i just got that sherman from reefgazer and yes they do look alot better than a normal rose, they actually have a blue base and dark rose tents, but i asked earlier how do you guys get them to split all the time? but yea the shermans you cant beat on colors, no doubt they are the best i have ever seen, and thanks again reefgazer, if you want to see one look at his, its a foot and a half, and beautyful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
