[DesigDiver]

[DesigDiver]

Where do you guys always find nice SPS on Live Aquaria? I never see any good sps on that site...am I not looking in the right section?

in the SPS category of DD...but you gotta be on top of the updates otherwise you won't even know it was in there....because there's always people like Ian sniping in the bushes:uzi:

+1 on reputable shops

I worked @ a LFS for a year and a half. I over heard my manager claiming some corals were from Australia to make the sale. Were they in fact? I don't know but they were sure questionable. After a few more questionable methods my manager used to make a sale, I quit

I traded for this Aussie Acro frag in March. It was in kind of tough shape but it pulled through. It was fresh cut off of a recently trans shipped piece. I was hoping it would stay more toward the red shade, but I am still happy with how it turned out.

I think i have the same type as you, growth form is the same, colors and polyps are the same. Sweet peice, one of my favs!

 

[slobound]

It was $200

Ian, I'm coming over with frag cutters! Hahaha

i dont really understand the whole aussie thing too much..in less there are a lot of cool variants that are isolated off the coast of Australia..there are gorgeous corals all over the south pacific..doesnt make much sense.

i like the new aussie SPS - not that you can't get the same thing from bali/figi/png/wherever but.. it seems like the care level from collection to purchase seems to be a bit higher making wild caught corals that have a high rate of survival

worth 10 - 20% more imo for that little bit of extra care

Good score Ian. I got there 2 mins too late. I saw the time that you purchased it.

thanks James

There was a SICK Hoek up tonight but I missed it

 

[Laddy]

Bad pictures, but what the heck. I bought this frag from ATL a few months ago. New growth and color is great--picture does not do it justice at all.

I refreshed and it was there ....... But the cash in my acct was not! I saved the pic and started calling my buddies that always have $ but no one answered. Sad day.

 

[isseym328]

[Leishman]

Booooooo!

 

[slobound]

WOW... some great finds Ian and James. Glad those corals are coming over to California!

Nice score James!
