Galaxea and hammer frags anyone?
Galaxea and hammer frags anyone?
Hey guys I just cut up my rather large green metallic looking Galaxea and am looking to get rid of a good number of frags(8-9) from 1 1/2" to a good 3x3" frag with a bunch of sizes in between. Anyone interested in these possibly before we take them to LFS for credit?
Can send pics later of what we got after fragging it and keeping a rather large piece.
Have 2 tan with green tips hammer frags with 4-5 heads on one and 3-4 on other after accidentally breaking my wifes 30-40+ head hammer while moving it. Also seeing if any interest before we take them to LFS
Came from the orig colony seen in the pic of my avatar from 2 yrs ago

Probably 15 each for the hammers and anywhere from 5-25 on the Galaxea depending on its size. Once they get settled again after being out of the water for the fragging I`ll post a pic with prices on each. They are about 80% back out just after 30 min or so but should be fully happy and extended again later this eve. They all came from this colony of it after I did the first break last week and still not fully extended. All the orig little frags in the pic have been sold but the new ones listed will be available. The large rock on the right was broken up into the multiples listed as well as a small piece from the left one. It just got to be two big for my tank after 2 yrs.
Pic of it when not bothered before taking it out of water and fragging it:

Hi everyone,
I started a meetup group for anyone in the Triangle interested in get-togethers, trips to LFSs and other fun activities. I'm in Wake Forest so anyone nearby feel free to give me a shout!

She first published Ecology of the Planted Aquarium in 1999. The book has done well. It has been translated into German and Italian and is now available as an e-book.
