I was in Elite Reef a few years ago and they had half a dozen or so for sale 400 each. My wife pointed them out and I told her there’s no way I’m paying 400 bucks for an anemone! Not as bad as the offer I turned down from brother in law to buy apple stock in th eighties! But still painful. So where did this morph come from, who is this Ki, and why is a marbled foot so important?
At one point about a year or 2 ago they were $1800 - $2100 all day long!
I may have some of the facts a little off, but Key's Island was a local fish store in Denver that got one of these nems in a shipment. He recognized it as special and put it aside and let it grow out and naturally split. He began to selectively release them to buyers. So the top specimen are said to have lineage back to Ki. At least that's the version of the story I heard. I'm sure there are some urban legends out there!

A little more from R2R
