looking for a rhizo

[Jp813]

Its probably a long shot but does anyone have a rhizo for sale or know of any lfs that sells them? Thanks Jason

You may find one at reefapalooza

 

[Jp813]

That would be nice. Im hoping to score one locally but at least a reefapalooza immight be able to grab some rarer corals up there. what day are you going?

 

[aguila88psi]

Haven't decided but it'll be for one day only

 

[clearwatereefer]

I think day one will have the best stuff up for grabs,but day 2 will probaly have better deals since most vendors wont want to haul so much back..

I do believe FAOIS has one or did last week at least...

I have never seen a rhizo for sale locally in over 4 yrs in the hobby. I don't know where rhizos are in the wild, but pretty sure they're still illegal to collect in some areas. If you find one on the market, it's probably illegally exported or a healthy specimen that's been around a while (hopefully the latter). I've really only seen a few pop up online.

FAOIS has one in the 90 gal display tank. Coral Corral had on when they had the non-photosynthetic tank when they had it running.

Rhizos are a really nice coral in person. For the op, I don't know if you've ever heard of a knuckle coral, but it may be a nice substitute? Granted, it's not as large as a rhizo, but they're pretty interesting if you read up on them. They're pretty rare to find also but they're available time to time.

Thanks for the information and the suggestion. will be looking for a knuckle coral as well to add to my dendro and sun coral collection.

Pretty long haul for you but I believe Sea in the City has one in their nano display. Definitely call first, I could be wrong.
