As what? 1" overpriced frags?

Like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. These Australian acros are coming in much healthier than their Indonesian counterparts.

We pay a premium for better collection practices, better shipping practices, higher freight and in a lot of cases, nicer corals.

Some people opt for quantity, others quality. Personally, I fall into the latter category

I think you already did by your first comment, but honestly, if I hadn't had the price / demand discussion a dozen times already this month, I would, but honestly I am tired of debating it. No offense. Everyone has their opinion, and it is what it is. We see this same debate all the time here on RC, every time there is a new hot coral....


To the original poster, sorry for the sidetrack, you have some awesome specimens there!!

Interesting. Then why debate my opinion in the first place?

Sure. This is it untouched. It was too blue with my P&S so I adjusted the white balance. The green coralites really pop nicely thanks to my lighting. My lighting is 20k Radium + Actinic. I really like this coral.

Nice corals!

More please, they look so delicious!

is it purple/pink and blues? that milli is very common in aus, i have a bright orange and green of the same species which not so common.

It is orange with green, definitely no purple in it. My lighting makes the orange color a little more red'ish.

Is it normal for the polyp extension to be very short? From far away it looks like it has no PE but upon closer inspection you can see small polyps. Im so used to milleporas having long PE. Either way these aussi acro's that are coming in are amazing, you guys are so lucky to live so close to the reef.

 

[ryanrid]

mine also has short polops unlike most of the other millis, could possibly be the same piece then. ill try to get a pic of what i have left of mine, hard to get a pic as it is behind a stag or 2 now.
