Please read this entire post if your interested in frags

Ok, I couldn't make it to the swap because I was diving in key Largo :D However, I have a bunch of frags that I was planning on bringing that I'd like to unload now.

To encourage more folks to get fragging and trading many of these corals are currently available for "TRADE ONLY." However, there are some that I have multiples of that I will sell, and the prices will be noted with the pics. Stuff that I have trouble trading in the next couple weeks I may offer up for sale, however, please don't try and "reserve your place in line" to pay now. I will also give preference to those willing to trade.

As far as trading goes, I have a full blown mixed reef and am interested in anything colorful that I don't have already. I will require a pic unless I've traded or dealt with you before. I don't mind fresh cuts either when they're not being shipped. Anyone can frag its not that complicated and its vitally important to the future of this hobby.

Shortly after posting this thread I will create another one on the SLASH.org site in the Members Only section with a list of Donor Corals. Please check it out and get fragg'n and share'n :)

Almost all of these frags have been mounted for well over a month and growing well. Some of the pics are of mother colonies and others are of the frags themselves. The pics taken in the main tank are under Pheonix 14K HQI and VHO actinic. The pics in the frag tank are under 20K XM. All pics were taken with a basic Cannon point and shoot camera using the underwater white balance setting. They have not been Photoshopped in any way other than resizing. However, I am no expert in photography, some of the corals look better in person and some may look a little worse. I did my best.

Also, please don't take the names of the corals (particularily the zoas) to heart, its just a guide, naming is very subjective ;).

Just so you know, I will keep your name and RC handle "on file" in case anything happens to my tank in the future and I want to get a hold of a coral I lost. That's part of the reason they go so cheap :)

I will be available most of the weekend starting tonight around 5:30 pm until Late Sunday Night. PM me and I give you my number and address. Please try and catch me this weekend if you can, I'll be a hard guy to catch for the next 5 weeks as I begin training full time for my next fight ;)

No problem, however, the point of fragging is to share so how about we limit your orange ricordea count to just 2 or 3? They grow fast

Thanks,
 
Well your the seller so it's up to you. That is my wife's favorite coral so I usually buy them any time I see them at a reasonable price. I've never had one multiply. Nor have I fragged one successfully. So to me, buying is the only way apparently.

You may need a little more light or try feeding them. The ones I have grow quickly and they frag easy. I just cut them in quarters so that there is a piece of mouth for each frag and put them in a container with gravel/shells on the bottom and some grating for a cover. They heal and attach in a couple weeks and I glue them to plugs.

Ok, I've read and answered most of the PM.

There is still frags of everything for sale minus the ORA blue tort nubs and the non-growing acro. I'm running low on the Orange rics as well but I think I have a few still available.

Nothing is pending yet on any of the trade only frags either.

I'm going to PM everyone my address and phone number. If you can't make it this weekend please keep in communication with me for an alternate pickup time. Don't blow me and the other folks who wanted the same frag off. I keep a list :D
