Ruth, No problem...will let people know when more come available.

Tangman, Not really a secret just a wholesaler I met (not local though), and we hit it off, was planning to be only dry goods, but once I saw some of the corals they were offering I couldn't pass it up.

Was told there should be another order available in about a month, so will be able to get a better idea what's available then.

Great looking corals.

Was the wholesaler from Canada? If not, what kind of permits and such did you have to do? Was it easy?

Were those corals considered frags?

Nice looking pieces with lots of potential, it's too bad they attach the Timor's too such unnatural looking bases. I have some in my tank and they are the same way. I am always moving things around to try to hide the bases. I am actually considering detaching them and put them on a real rock instead. I have a few pieces from Tonga that are on large cement plugs which doesn't look too hot either. For the Bali corals they at least glue rubble together around the frag plug so they look a little more realistic.

Sweet lookin' corals though.

Yes it is from Canada, and they call them colonies, sizes range from 2 x 3" to 5 x 6"

thanks X 2

I was kinda laughing at the pop bottle/cap bases...actually these had tonnes of coraline alge on them, so they didn't look too bad when placed into my rock work.

I picked up 3 of them from Quinn. I ran out of $$$ :( or else I'd taken the whole lot of them, not one brown, or ugly one in the bunch. Wasn't easy to pick.they all where so nice. They where awesome colours. The sizes where bigger then I was expecting, compared to the Bali culture the LFS around here get. I have already got him to put me on the list for the next shipment.

Quinn, I might Pop down there this weekend and see what's left, and see if I can bug you for that thick fingered one, that you said you might keep.
