Lots of rock and corals for sale! (OC)

[NicoleC]

I am getting ready to reconfigure my tank. Almost all my rocks and corals are for sale, and I will be detailing the items in this thread.

First, the rules:
-No trades, sorry. I have some very specific plans and do not want to acquire any more livestock right now.
-The prices I am offering are very fair, so they are firm. Lowball offers will be ignored.
-First come-first served. I will accept reservations with a PayPal deposit of 50% of the price. You will be responsible for any PalPay fees above and beyond the cost of the item if you use a credit card.
-In the interests of full disclosure, I have attempted to be as detailed (good and bad) as possible, so you can make an informed decision. If you reserve an item, show up and don't like the item of don't feel it was as described, I will refund the deposit.
-If you don't show up when you say you will, I reserve the right to keep the deposit at my discretion.
-All purchases are cash only on the spot, minus any deposits made ahead of time.
-I live in the city of Orange. I will not ship.
-Viewing and Pickup schedule is:
SUNDAY MARCH 26th, now until 9pm
MONDAY MARCH 27th, 7pm to 9pm
SATURDAY APRIL 1st, 10am to 12noon
I will schedule at least one more day this week in the evening 7-9pm, so if you have a preference for a day this week feel free to ask.

[rbdesigns]

Are you going to get rid of the rbta?

 

[NicoleC]

More live rock without corals will be available later, after the other corals are sold.

Individual items for sale:
Blue/teal double mycedium colony. Very healthy and a fast grower. Color is really better than the pic shows. For scale, the bottom colony here is about 3" wide. $50

Loose individual discosoma mushrooms -- blue/purple, orange, green. $5/each

Tri-color small zoanthid colony. This guy will probably be stunning after a while under MH's, as it has been slowly losing color under PC's. $15

Oxypora, JenDub's "Hubba hubba," teal with pink mouths. About 1/2" x 2." Does not stay bright under PCs. Recently stung by the RBTA, so needs a little TLC and the price reflects this. $25. Sorry, no photo.

XXL RBTA. Probably will come with live rock that it is attached to. This specimen has never moved in my tank, and has also never split but it from an aquacultured clone. Big enough for that maroon pair that beats up little anemones. Tentacles are 6" long and oral disc is about 9" in diameter. Excellent purplish rose color -- this photo does not do it justice. $50

Reddish-brown favia with neon green polyps. About 4" round. $25

Neon/neon favia. Under MH's, it is solid neon, but developed two-tone color almost immediately under PCs and has been holding steady. About 3 1/2" square. $30

Fuzzy green mushroom. $10

Small olive zoanthid colony. $10

I can't buy anything since I'm not local but I'd love to know how you put together your first post with the pictures/text etc. Awesome.

 

[NicoleC]

Daytymer - Well, I did it in MS Word so I could print to PDF, but I couldn't even get a single page down to the size RC would let me upload. So I print-screened the word doc and pasted into Photoshop so I could turn it into a JPG I could upload to my photobucket account.

How's that for the long way around?

 

[tang reefer]

Wish I had my 20g running right now. Its like paying for LR and getting free corals. Great prices NicoleC

 

[NicoleC]

Hammer coral, branching style, brown with neon green tips. I have two colonies with about 8 large heads each. Aquacultured. Fast grower. $40 each colony.

Long-tentacle frogspawn, green with pink tips. This one is a steady grower, but not particularly fast. I have several pieces, all from the same original wild caught colony. All heads have babies as well as the head count below.
6 heads (bottom right) $40
2 heads (top right) $15
5 heads (top center) $35
1 large head (top left) $15
5 heads (center left) $35

 

[dougiee]

I just send you a pm.

HMMMMM........ Now I saw the frogspawn and Hammer

HMMMMM.......

 

[NicoleC]

SHOWPIECE aquacultured frogspawn, 20+ heads. Brown tentacles with both green and pink tips. (Two varities in one colony.) About 10" round in all directions. Super fast grower that has produced numerous frags. It deserves a nice tank where it can be the center of attention. For those of you who know my tank, this is the frog my clowns host in, and boy are they going to be upset. So -- This coral is not available for pickup until all other items are gone and I have removed the clownfish to a holding tank-- about 6 weeks. $100.

For perspective, that is a 4" round clay pot bottom next to the frog.

More to come after some items get cleared out and I know what else is in there. I will have more live rock, live rock rubble, some more loose mushrooms and small zoanthids colonies.

If you would like to come by and look at the livestock, you do not need to reserve corals to do so.

Do you have an address so i can stop by and visit? Can you email me the address if you arent comfortable posting it up online?
Thanks,
Daniel Lee icanfly012@yahoo.com

 

[NicoleC]

You have email, Daniel.

BTW, my yellow tonga leather and green lobophylllia are not for sale. Neither are the fish, although I *may* be selling the harem of assessors, but i haven't decided yet.

And no, I do not have any hardware for sale right now.
