FS - cup coral

just picked up a cup coral from a package buy, but thinking of selling it off. i will try to get a picture of it, but in very week lights now.

Thinking $25 range.
 
here's the coral. it is taken under 65w PC 50/50, so not very light intense.

It is part of the dendrophylliidae family, genus turbinaria; AKA scroll coral. It is one of three genus that are photosynthetic(along with duncanopsammia and heteropsammia). This means they have a symbiosis with zooxanthellae and require light(does not need to be high lighting, but can't be under a ledge like tubastrea or dendrophyllia). Hope this helps.
 
ben&bobi you should have not bought the packages from me if all your intention was to sell them off individually and make a profit off of it,

this is now the 4th or 5th item now, and was bad enough you had people coming to my house to buy the items off you right in front of me,

wow, where should i start -

1) her name is bobbi not bobi

2) i bought them i can flush them if i want to

3) you were not interested in selling them seperately, only as a package deal.

4) i told you i was only buying them for the xmas tree coral you said was included - NOT!

5) 1 - ONE person came to your house and she bought something else from you. The second was a mis-communication!

6) where are the xenia rocks you said were included

7) i paid you extra for the stuff on the side of the tank

8) PROFIT - who sold the leather and cap after saying he will not seperate, then tried to charge me more.

9) you wanted the stuff gone.

10) based on what i got and the prices i am asking are cheaper then you said you would have sold them for.

11) this is only the second coral so far anyway - the 3 headed unknown and this one. then the sailfin i could not keep - oh, but that's a fish!
anything else you want to say?
 
and where should i start

i can bring back the threads if you like and PM's

a. i seperated the original package so you can pick what you wanted if you didnt want it you should said so, in which you did not

b. you scheduled 2 other people to meet at my house so they can buy the stuff from YOU ! not me! if your going to sell stuff from some one dont do it in front of there face

c. now i see your selling stuff again after i seperated the original package the 1st time

d. you conduct buisness poorly i would have never sold you the package if this was your full intentions

e. it was a x-mas tree candy cane coral, i did not miss represent the items, you had full pics of every item you purchsed and was never ever miss-represented in any way

f. i did charge more because you wanted them seperated which takes more time out of my schedule to meet and give out my address away, ether case they were sold for much less then i paid for them

g. if you rember corectly i did give you a ton of xenia that you scraped off , again get your facts straight

h.you sold the sail fin tang and the pom pom crab seperatly also


i dont care what you do with them, i guess its a lesson learned for me,



here is the original coral package as posted before

Coral package=100.00$
Small x-mas tree coral 6-8 heads
Orange hard coral cap
Rare green toad stool “meduim”
Propaganda cup hard coral
Unspecified coral 3 heads
A few xenia rocks

this was your response

"i would be interested in the christmas tree worms. so if we all put $20 in, that would lmost cover it ...... just a thought!"

again your mistake never mention worm any where

and again

anyone seriously interested in 1,2, or 3 of the corals? I wouldn't mind "buying" them if i had enough SERIOUS people wanting to buy majority of them.

Mrs. Smith - green leather?
chrisstie - unidentified heads of stuff?
christmas tree worms - Ben?

even at $25 a piece, that's an extra $25 out of my pocket, but maybe there's enough xenia or someone else wants the propaganda?

what do you think?

after that i seperated the packge in half to suite your needs !!! if you only wanted one of the items you should have not bought the package
 
I hope I didn't get anyone angry since I was involved in this stuff- I had asked a while ago if you had been willing to part out for the little 3 headed thing (which I think is a form of lobophyllia actually and is very beautiful in my tank, I love it!)

I just hate to see my name up in the middle of something like this - and I did ask your permission to come to your place to get the cool pom pom crab as well as the lobophyllia and you said okay so.. *runs away really fast to another thread to avoid any other arguements*
 
everyone involved knows what was going on.

solarwrx - thank you for clarifying that i had always intended to sell the stuff off. :D if you want to post the rest of the PM's feel free, be sure to include the last ones with the complete list of fish and full list of corals! It will make for a good bump!

people buy tanks setup and sell it off all the time - it happens, sorry everyone doesn't have the same taste as yourself.

chrisstie - if you noticed i DID NOT mention anyone elses name for obvious reasons! we know we got permission from him, before hand, so what ever. hope everything is working out for you! is the pom-pom out or hiding!?




Now back to the cup coral!

chrisstie there was no issues with you, you were the exception but after i got another email asking for my adress so they can buy the sail fin tang from bob which was buying from me is when things went south.

ben it was lessons learned, some people have no life and no ethics

there your corals, do what you please but please just do it with dignity next time,

take care
