Anyone interested in a rose tip Elegance?

[Litespeeds]

I have a friend that has maybe one or two pretty big rose tip Elegance corals that she might be selling. She actually donated a piece to Steinhart Aquarium several years back. This coral has been with her for over 10 years and just keeps growing and growing.
I will try and take a photo of the piece or pieces that she will be selling and will try and let you know the exact size.
All I can say is the piece that I got from her is now about 10-12" when open and is still growing. One of the best looking Elegance that I have ever seen.
Please e-mail me for a picture.
I think she wants something like $80-$100 for each piece depending upon size. Will find out for sure when I see her and take the actual photos.
I am just seeing if anyone in the Bay Area is interested. Please let me know. Thanks.

FWIW, this is a steal. IMO this piece should go from a lot more then 80-100. I'd personally start it at $150 due to how long it's been in aquaria

I'm next in line! I've been wanting a healthy elegance for a while now.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Patrick, if you get a piece, split it with me! Have a special club project in mind You guys will like it

 

[Nukeproof]

We could talk about it if I can get it.

Could a elegant be fragged? I'd love to get a 2-3" piece.

Mr President / Norman, are you planning another Frag workshop. I too would like a healthy Elegance.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Nseawater,

Not a workshop, but something a bit "bigger" in a way

It does have to do with propagation and appreciation for coral husbandry.

And club members will benefit too

I suspect Gresham has a knowing smile there, hehehe.

If he raises the price, I blame Greshman.....remember I was 1st in line. : )

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Hahah... Arnold, "maybe" doesn't count

I will see if I can go over to her house tonight and take some pictures and make sure I know what she has to offer.

Since there is so much interest, I might just do a miny auction to see what the Elegance is worth. It really depends upon the size. I thought it would be worth between $80-$100 but I figured you guys would really know when you see it.

Please e-mail me at Litespeeds@hotmail.com and I will send you a high resolution picture this evening or as soon as I take the photo(s). Thanks for your interest.

Just for your FYI, APON e-mailed me first

 

[GreshamH]

Auctions, and even mention of acutions on RC, are a big no no (against UA).

I'd sell the two you mentioned now, at the price given, and ebay any more after that Give em a taste, then make em pay Make sure to mention it's history, when making the ebay posting.
