Aussie platting Acros? (soli/glauca/clathrata)

[MammothReefer]

Has anybody seen any aussie platting acros come in?

I don't believe efflos are available in the area, but I believe

Acropora solitaryensis
Acropora glauca
Acropora stoddarti
and
Acropora clathrata

Do.

I'd really like to find a Glauca

We seldom see Solys et al even in Australia, I doubt you'd find them in huge abundance in the US these types tend to be collected from the west coast where the main populations are which makes shipping a big concern as well.

That's a real bummer. I really like the quality of the sps coming in from au. Would love to get my hands on some. >_<

The funny part about it is... as reefers here we seldom see high quality gear in ready supply. It's hard to argue with the prices we pay (at least in Queensland right near the GBR), but it seems most of the good stuff goes California way. We refuse to pay the prices they can ask over there as a general rule so suppliers have made a decision to send it elsewhere.

Kinda looking a gift horse in the mouth a bit eh? I know ReefFarmers have LE ones, and I know ORA are in the process of cultivating it... aside from those I'm not sure who you'd look to. One of my clients is an exporter who occasionally gets west coast corals that either go to places in LA or to UniqueCorals... but I think you'd have a better chance of marrying the Queen aside from these sources

Check your inbox mate. As for Tim Tams... I'd rather nice Acro than those after a childhood of mum working at the Arnott's factory and being smothered with them... :lolspin:
