Yuppers. A lot of these corals are slow growers that's why they are in such high demand.

Each time we get a decent size branch we have to frag it because of the demand.

If we waited for them to get larger it won't be till next spring will you see any for sale.

You should see the size that we get when they come in. It's a bit emberassing. By those standards these are full grown mother colonies already. LOL.

Here's a pic of the Purple Monster that we received last month.

This coral was prepaid almost a year ago and and it was finally ready to be cut and shipped. This is the actual size of the frag we received from our farmer.



PM is an extremely slow grower so if this was ours to keep it'll be a full year before we can get any cuttings out of it.

Having said that our Mother colony of Galaxy Birdsnest is the fastest grower we have. Best coral in terms of growth speed, color and ease of keep.

I'm a little confused.. Can we order these frags now and expect immediate shipment or do have to show our intent to buy and put down a deposit and then wait a year for them to be ready??

I guess what I'm really asking is are any of these in stock at this very moment?

And if so it would be helpful to know which ones are and which ones are not.

We sure are, we just need a small REFUNDABLE deposit just to make sure that people are committed to the frags. I've sent you a PM.

Thanks.

Like Paul said already, a deposit that is refundable is needed to hold a coral for you. Most likely though it wouldnt take a year to get the frags ready but at least a couple months wait is necessary.

i would say that 95% of these corals at the moment are still in growout stage. We will be fragging these soon and they will show up on our weekly sales program, so expect to see these pieces show up once in a while through there!

Ok cool thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if those frags were available now or not.
