How can we be sure there are no corals attached to them?

Nothing commercial about it man. I'm just a hobbyist who likes to collect AEFW like anyone else. My Limited Edition collection at the moment consists of "Tiny Tims", "Slim Shadys" and "Flatirons". All are healthy and completely tank raised so you don't have to worry about any environmental impacts. Not only do they look cool, they are also beneficial in a mixed reef where they will help control the overgrowth of Acropora.



I sell by count but can also make up AEFW packs. PM me !

Also, I am starting to crossbreed them so look for new designer breeds from me in the near future!

Do they need purple clove polyps to breed and sleep?

lol..i know a few reefers that could use some of your collectors/LE AEFW,as their tanks are infested with awesome acros.

It is pretty simple quarantine anything you put in one of your tanks. If you don't it is your own fault if your tank wipes.

The good thing is this post has lead to people being reminded how important quarantineing livestock is.

Like I said, this was just a friendly warning to members here. Take it for what it is.

Thank you!

Sorry I was mistaken, I read LFS and brain went to JL for some reason. My bad. From reading it sounded as though you or a couple people ended up getting AEFW; if you did, I'm sorry and I feel for you. It sucks. If you didn't, my misunderstanding - it seemed like you had. I didn't say you were craving drama or attention.

After reading through the whole thread and seeing people get up in arms when Brad says "take responsibility for your own stuff" I thought it was getting kind of silly. I think I was responding more to:

"So selling dirty corals is ok on this forum? By your comments here and on other warning on the another thread that makes it seem like you don't find any immoral issues here. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what you come off ass. Oopps I mean "as"."

No one here was implying that. Brad, myself and others said the same thing, maybe too bluntly: ultimately you're responsible for your tank, and no, no one is supporting selling "dirty" frags.

I really do appreciate you posting a warning about a guy selling infected frags, especially if the guy was doing it maliciously. From what I was seeing it didn't necessarily seem like he was and it felt like the reaction was a bit over blown. That's why I said something. The other member was being publicly strung out like a leper. If he was being malicious, great burn him at the stake. Or, as Brad said, a simple note to the mods could have just as well been an effective first step to getting rid of that problem.

JL gets colonies in shipments that have AEFW and they try to deal with it the best they can (typically they just toss the colony), however, you can't catch them all. We don't go and cause a huge kerfuffle if one of their colonies has AEFW, right?

Far too often around here many threads just turn into ****ing matches and catfights. Does that really bring up the quality of this forum? My point was more to the point that people need to temper their responses. While your intentions were good, I saw this ending up as people all up in a tizzy and bitter because of the way it was being handled. It's the kind of stuff that drives membership away. People being publicly crucified for having a pest, accusations of having no morals and supporting selling of "dirty" frags... There are more constructive ways of dealing with problems than that. We can be better than that around here.

I'm sorry if you understood it as me point a finger at you or chastising you. It wasn't meant as such and I apologize if it came across that way. Like I said, I'm not involved in the issue, I don't know all the facts, I'm not taking any sides. Just like you, I believe in what I think is right. While I appreciate your good intentions, I didn't believe the responses I was seeing were the most appropriate.

Will adding a Protein Skimmer to my system reduce the risk of getting these AEFW?

This thread has me terrified..
