Finally ready - now looking for some cheap or free frags

[jmccown]

I just got my 150g ready for corals. Got my lighting (VHO), refugium, good skimmer, rock. I am now ready to try some corals. For now I want to try some beginner corals. I know there are people on here that are always throwing Xenia away or GSP's when they become overgrown. I would like to try some entry level corals - like the above mentioned or leathers or mushrooms. I will be in Charleston area on Friday so could meet up with someone then. Let me know what you have you could part with.

Actually not as many now, we have tried to get through to hobbyists that coral no matter how seemingly plentiful some may be at times, is still a live animal and not expendable. We still have a lot of work to do in this area, but in short it's like this, the cheaper something is the less value it is perceived to have, in other words it is easily replaceable. This is not how we want to view these animals at all. Giving them away to your friends is perfectly fine, but throwing them away is IMO unforgivable and counterproductive to the hobby. I don't have any GSP right now or I would get you some as well. That's the thing about coral, you never know when that supply will dry up

Big thanks to Altpersona. Got the corals in the tank and they are doing wonderful.

You might want to check with Mr. Fuji. He's loaded with frags of all types. He's collected many from people giving up the hobby.
Maybe he'd make you a good deal.
