Anyone want Oregon Tort Frags??

You guys know the growth rates even the most pristine tanks are getting out of those? You guys must have the patience of Job. I've never had a reef tank set up long enough to even come close to the time it's gonna take to get even what would be considered a small colony outta those bad boys. Gorgeous coral though, for sure.

I will probably just kill mine as it is ;) I think I already did one in if thats what I think a freind left me as a swap for some goodies. If so then :eek2: I CAN'T BELIVE I KILLED IT!!! It was in the QT I had going that had a heater malfunction right before the swap and melted the flesh right off everything. Now that I know what that very pretty blue coral was I am kicking myself for not putting it in the main tank right away!! :mad2:

You need to check with him if we can get anything else added in from his awsome tank.
 
That was actually a California Tort Angela and I'm sure we can do some more tradin' sometime:)

The Oregons are a different blue...very nice and well worth the wait. $30 is a great deal.

I'll take one if you could hold onto it for me until I can pick it up on the weekend. If not that is okay.
 
Thanks Gary I think we have enough interested. I am going to see if he can fit a few extra in the box. I am just waiting to hear back from him via email. If not I will call him Monday.
 
If he can, I'd love two or three. If not, one is plenty:). For the size, that is an incredible price. If I get extra, I pick up trading value for other nice things I'm addicted to (zoas, micros, acans, etc.);).
 
I will see how many he can put in a box.

I have:
1) Chris (TitansFan)
2) Jack (crumbletop)
3) Gary (gflat65) 2-3 if available
4) Angela
5) Tim (luckyfish)
6) demos10
7) Michael (rcmike)
 
wow, this is becoming more of a turn out than I expected. I called Joe and left him a msg. I shall wait to see what he can work out for us and has ready at this time. If I can't get enough for everyone only way fair I can think is to just go in order of response.
 
I will go in this order of request. If you are no longer interested please let me know.

1) Chris (TitansFan)
2) Jack (crumbletop)
3) Gary (gflat65)
4) Angela
5) Tim (luckyfish)
6) demos10
7) killereef
8) Michael (rcmike)
9) Chuck (ocd_mariner)
10) c_stowers
11) Ryan (rsteagall)

With Gary wanting a few maybe he can just do 2 packs for us.
 
OK.. abit of bad news. I want to see your opinions on what we should do. Here is the last email he sent me:

"Sorry for the delay in answering. I uncovered Red Bugs this Sunday, and have been working hard to prepare for the 3 week dosing of Interceptor. I have had this problem before, but I admit I recently let a friend put 2 frags in my tank without treating or quarantining them and now I'm paying the price. (You can imagine how surprised he was when I told him he has Red Bugs. Actually he didn't believe me so I had to lend him my Mesoscope to prove it to him)."

"I would be more than happy to send out a box after I have finished the treatment, or if you are brave I'd be happy to send frags now along with some Interceptor pills that you can use. If you'd rather just drop the whole deal that's o.k. too. I promise not to be offended : )"
 
Regardless of them explicitly having red bugs, I was planning on floating my frag with interceptor in the bag for at least 12 hours prior to acclimating. I'm a bit more comfortable with waiting until he's done with treatment, but I'm open to getting them now.
