[GVRD] Easy and colorful LPS frags

[albert_dao]

Aloha!

I have a few frags I'd like to offer. All of these corals are ideal for beginners.

Xmas Micromussa amakusensis

I have two sizes, as shown below.

Small piece - $20

Large piece - $30

This is a hard to find coral. Will do fine under T5's and up. Looks INSANE under LED's. Feed it and watch it explode!



Orange Leptoastrea

Nickel-sized pieces - $20

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7721/orangeleptastrea.jpg

Hardy and greedy. This coral encrust fairly rapidly and appreciates lower light levels.



Teal & Red Favia

Loonie-sized pieces - $15

http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4023/tealred.jpg

This is one of the cooler Favia I've seen in a while. I only have a few frags.



Bubblegum Pink Favia

Toonie-sized pieces - $25

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5318/bubblegumcq.jpg

This is one of my best corals! It's hard to find truly pink corals, especially hardy ones, but this one fits the bill. Looks extra awesome if you have LED's.



Blood Red Favia

Loonie-sized pieces - $15

http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/4176/bubblegumwannabe.jpg



Green Aussie Prism Favia

Toonie-sized piece - $20

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8169/aussiegreenprism.jpg

I only have one of these available.



Green + Pink Chalice

Toonie-sized piece - $15

http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4986/greenchalice01.jpg

Only one available.

If you're in the Richmond/Vancouver area and interested, make it worth my while and I'll deliver :D

Edit: All pictures taken under Aquaconnect 14k + KZ Super Blue & KZ Fiji Purple bulbs.

[albert_dao]

Aussie Green Prism is spoken for.

Green + Pink Chalice may be pending.

Thanks!

[albert_dao]

Ugggggghhhh, I knew I was short a few corals.

Here are the ones I missed:

Green Australomussa

Toonie-sized piece - $30

http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/2336/australomussagreen.jpg

Only one available. I've had this one forever and it doesn't grow much so I'm getting rid of it, but it IS pretty darn cool.



Teal-Green Favia

Toonie-sized piece - $15

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/8133/favialightgreen.jpg

This is actually a pretty big frag. Fully encrusted over the plug. Only one.



Chocolate Mint Favia

Toonie-sized piece - $25

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8471/faviachocolatemint.jpg

Another really big frag. GLOWS under actinics and LED's. Only one.



Green Cotton Candy Chalice

Toonie-sized piece - $40

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/4376/chalicegreen02.jpg

I thought LONG AND HARD about parting with this frag. Alas, it doesn't look as good in my nano as it does under Metal Halides. My loss is your gain. Only one available.



Orange Dotty Chalice

Toonie-sized piece - $25

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4425/chalicegreenorange.jpg

Again, and like the rest of this post, I only have one of these.



TUBE ANEMONES!!!

I have a few random tube anemones lying around I'd also like to unload. Please note that these are not photosynthetic and need to be fed at least three times a week with frozen foods. That said, they're still easy animals to maintain:

Orange

$30

http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/4062/tubeorange.jpg

I have two of these.



Purple

$25

http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4589/tubepurple.jpg

Only one.

I also have a couple grey ones. $15 each.

[albert_dao]

Thanks to everyone who came by for corals!

As I promised some of you, here are some pictures different stuffs...

Tyree Cyphastrea japonica

Quarter-sized frags - $30

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9039/cyphastreatyreegreenjap.jpg

I got these from Paul. Grows fast under lower light, swap it to high K lighting for the best color. This is a great coral for beginners looking to get into the LE collecting - Nothing kills this coral.



Meteor Shower Cyphastrea

Loonie-sized frags - $30

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/6412/cyphastreameteorshower.jpg

Another great Cyphastrea species. The tissue will darken into a metallic teal once the coral starts building a calcareous base (4"+ diameter). As with the Tyree Japonica, this is a fast-growing, great-for-beginners species that appreciates low light.



Galaxy Eye Cyphastrea

Toonie-sized frags - $25

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1933/cyphastreagalaxy.jpg

I'm Cyphastrea crazy today, haha! Same specs apply to this strain, but it can handle being blasted by light. Polyps on this coral can get absolutely radioactive under LED lighting, so I encourage everyone with Illuminas, SOL's and Radions to give this piece a shot.



Molten Red Zoas

Toonie-sized mini colony - $25

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9475/zoamoltenred.jpg

These are a deepwater strain. Polyps are well-encrusted to the plug. Unlike other Zoas, this one doesn't look like a big-brown mass as the colony gets larger and denser. Keep it under intense, high Kelvin lighting for the best colors.

Larger colony in my nano for referrence:

Radioactive Green Zoas

Quarter-sized frags - $10

http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1378/zoagreen.jpg

Just a fast-growing, green zoa :D



Premium Deepwater Combo Zoas

Whole mini colony - $45

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/174/zoadeepwatercombo.jpg

Three of my best Zoa colonies on one plug! I only have one available (WYSIWYG). More will be ready once they color up.



Variable Mohawk Palys

Toonie-sized frags - $15

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/668/palyvariablemohawksfrag.jpg

This is a really cool Paly where the polyps can range from metallic pink to forest green, all within a few polyps of each other. This one is especially fast growing and a greedy feeder. Needs high-intensity light to show up at its best but is hardy and easy to keep regardless.



Candy Apple Red Palys

~4 polyp frags - $30

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/797/palycandyappleredfrag.jpg

Everyone's favorite! Fast growing, easy to feed and unrivaled colors make this a standard in anyone's collection.

Here's a picture of a fuller colony (my own) for referrence:

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/7812/palycandyapplered.jpg

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me here or by PM!

Also, I'll be fragging up a few polyps from the insane Duncan on my nano that a few of you have been asking me about. Pictures and prices in my next update.

If you're in the Richmond area, feel free to drop by. I'm available most days and evenings.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

[cidcaltrop]

Sorry, are you in Vancouver or in Calgary as your profile states?

[albert_dao]

rick

[albert_dao]

Both Galaxy Eye Cyphastrea are sold.

Also the deepwater combo is gone. I have more coming, but they are sorta bleached out due to a KH spike. I'll keep anyone interested posted on their status. I expect a 3-5 week wait for the colors to come back around.

Thanks!

Also, two frags of these available:

Cuttings taken from this colony:

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/1328/02duncan.jpg

This is probably the best Duncan I've seen in a long time (the bestest-best one I had was about six years ago and it was bright purple and yellow, but it's gone now.... *tear) and I regretted cutting them from my colony about 0.00035 seconds after it happened, ha!

Anyway, $50 each, firm.

Also, classic Xmas Favia:

Loonie-sized frags - $10

Cut from this colony:

Bloody Xmas Favia:

Quarter-sized frags - $20

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/9674/faviabloodyxmas.jpg

This is the deepest red Favia I've seen locally. I only have a few pieces of it.
