Anthelia, commons zoas, Kenya tree -- do I throw it away?

[D-Nak]

I don't have the heart to throw away coral, but I don't know what else to do with it. I've posted in the past that people can come by and pick them up for free, but most just flake out.

I get it -- there's no incentive to pick things up when they're common and don't cost any money. But what should I do with it? I don't think any LFS would want this stuff. Should I just throw it all in the trash? I want my anemone tank back!

My lfs always takes stuff and gives me a credit for bringing it in

Yeah I know the feeling that's what happens to my frag tank. can't bring myself to toss something I took under my care. I am a lot more picky now on what I take where I used to go get stuff from people and take the free and ons they tossed in, now I decline.

There is always putting it for free on CL but you have to deal with people you have no sorta info( worst case scenario) on and some are super weird. I also have brought them to Lfs in the past but I don't even have any of those close anymore lol.

It's so tough. I had to throw away so much Xenia, I had a hard time doing so. I felt like I was a criminal lol. Kenya and Anthelia real hard to find homes. I'm surprised no one wants some zoas.

I know I can use some

Donate to local club.
I know a lot of newbie who would love to have anything that's alive. PM you.

I'll take some of the zoas if you still got some left ;P

 

[austind500]

They should tank it

Wow... sounds like there's some interest. Pick up is in Alameda.

Here are some answers to the PMs I've received:

1. No, I won't give one person everything. There is plenty to go around.

2. I have anthelia, Kenya tree, Texas trash palys, and some other random zoas/palys (though they're not very colorful).

3. I can meet during most of the day on weekdays since I work at home. Weekends are tougher as my three kids keep me busy. I'm out of town this Friday-Saturday morning.

If you have a big tank, I have a huge rock -- about 11" across -- that is covered with zoas/palys (as well some majanos which should be removed). If you want it, let me know and we can work something out.

If we set up a time, please try not to flake!

And finally, if I give it to you for free, don't turn around and sell it!

PM me if you want to set up a time to meet.

I appreciated the Kenya trees I got from you! My horses love them. Thanks again man.

I don't even know if any of the LFSes would take it in though, but it's great for newbies!
