Hey, guys. I’ve decided to sell off my corals and perhaps even most of my fish and equipment. I am looking at downsizing to a cube of some sort (so long as it is big enough for my maroon clown pair). But first things first â€"œ the corals. I’ll let you local guys have first crack at this before I try frag everything and ship it. Anything I don’t sell now I may hold on until the frag swap. Anyway, the list is as follows:

LPS
  • Pink-tipped green frogspawn: $10 per head (frags of 3~6 heads avaible, 19 heads total. Local only -- will discount somewhat so that 3 heads are $25 and will knock off $2 per head above that).
  • Green-tipped pink frogspawn: $10 per head (frags of 3~6 heads available, about 18 heads total. Local only -- will discount somewhat so that 3 heads are $25 and will knock off $2 per head above that).
  • Small head forming on side of green-tipped frogspawn: $5 each (I have about 12 of these).
  • Green candy cane (nickel-sized heads): $35 for 25 polyps (will split into frags for $2 a head)
  • Galaxea (tennis-ball sized): $30 (or can split into frags)
  • Galaxea (small frag): $5
Zoanthids
  • Pink-hourglass mouth zoanthids (glow pink under actinics only): $20 for roughly 10 small polyps attached to rock
  • Evilmel greenskirt zoanthids: $10 for 10+ polyps from my main colonies, on rock rubble or not, discounts for larger frags (about 300 large polyps)
  • Greenskirt zoanthids, green center zoanthids: $10 for 10+ polyps or $30 for rock with 40~50 polyps (I have two of these)
  • Assorted zoanthid frags: $1 per polyp
Rocks with polyps and shrooms
(For the most part, these rocks are hydroid- and caulurpa-free. I'll clean off thoroughly before sending them out)
  • Large rock covered with large palythoas (brown with green and white speckling/streaking) and yellow polyps. Has some pieces of grape and razor caulurpa stems. I may frag some of this if somebody wants one, but the entire thing is: $40
  • Small rock covered with 20+ red mushrooms: $30
  • Small rock covered with 12+ red mushrooms: $20
  • Small rock covered with ~12 green-stripe mushrooms: $20
  • Small rock with ~6 mushrooms: $15
Others
  • Large Kenya tree (glows brigthly under actinics only): $40 for all, or $10 for medium frag (1 of these) and $20 for large frag (2 of these).
  • Individual mushrooms: $5 for 1 large and 1 small (qty discounts)

After most of the corals are gone, I’ll sell the following:
  • 125 lbs of live rock (lightly to heavily covered with hydriods, some with razor caulurpa stems): $0.75 lb for lightly covered, $0.50 for heavily covered. I have some good pieces that would look nice after a drying out period followed by a good scrubbing.
  • Snails (about 100~150 cerinths, astrae, nassarius): $0.25 per snail
  • Snails (2 or 3, mexican turbo): $1 per snail
  • Blue-leg crabs (about 25): $0.25 per crab
  • Tiny brittle stars (~1" each): $15 for 10
  • Kole tang: $20
  • Spotted Mandarin: $15
  • Yellow watchman goby: $10
  • Tiger pistol shrimp (paired with above): $10 (haven't seen him in a coupel weeks)
  • Royal Gramma: $15 (getting largish -- had for 5 years)
  • Big brittle starfish: $20 (I might keep this one -- at least 8 years old)
  • Pixy hawkfish: $15

I'll add other stuff as I remember I have it. I'll post pics or send pics when I can. Some of this stuff is in my photo gallery here. Some is at the ETRC site. Also, I'll list the equipment in another post at a later date. I made the stank and hood myself with red oak finish and trim and am reluctant to part with it for what little I know I can sell it at.

The February meeting would be a good time to pick up what you purchase. Or to simply come by and see my tank and see if you want what I haven't sold yet. I live less than a mile from where the meeting will be held.

This item is still available. I marked it wrong above:
Small rock covered with ~20 sm and med red mushrooms: $20

The following items have sold:
Candy cane, 22 heads: SOLD (digidana)
Ricordea: SOLD (digidana)

I took a few pics with lights out so you could see the candy cane and frogspawn retracted (better to see the heads and branches), but I left my cable at home and can't get them out of the camera. I'll post them tonight with some lights-on, extended pictures.

I sent you a PM with my phone number. I am holding the Kenya tree for you for now. Please call and we'll make exchange arrangements.

I have a potential trade for a 12G nano for many of the remaining zoanthids, but will take requests until it is finalized.

The pics I promised are as follows. Most are taken with no flash. Some are blurry, but I think you'll get the idea.

Here are some pictures I missed posting earlier. The zoanthids are all sold or traded away, but I thought I'd link them so everybody could see what they got.

Pink-mouth zoanthids
Assorted Paly frags
Green-skirt zoanthid rock
Brown SPS (bleaching), purple-tip SPS, baby green frogspawn frags, and royal gramma

Here is front shot of my tank after practically turning it upside down fragging the last two days. It should start looking bare by Tuesday.
