Momma jawbreaker and babies~~

[akma]

Picked this baby up.
Momma is 3+ inches.
Took this picutre under reefbrite moon light and my samsung galaxy note II.

This shroom pops. Brightest coral in my tank.

how much would you sell for when you're ready?

 

[akma]

Depends on the colors that are formed. First choice will probably be to trade for other nice corals.

[rjmurd]

Gotcha, if you do decide to sell, let me know- Thanks

Will do:

Here's a macro shot I took. You can see the purple specs popping up:

Very Nice. what camera and lens are you using Awesome Picture. Looks like you have a baby peaking out

Thanks.

I have a t3i and a 100mm IS macro lens.

I clicked on this because, while I read the word "jawbreaker" my brain went ahead and understood that as "jawfish." Needless to say that was a very disorienting couple of seconds when I first saw the pictures. And that, my friends, is why you shouldnt stalk the forums at 2am.

BUT, these shrooms are so awesome it hurts my soul a little bit.

WOW! I want/need one of these shrooms! How much do they normally go for? They don't look cheap

 

[vette.tech]

Also curious about pricing, I've never seen a nothing even remotely close to that

 

[Daniel62]

They usually are around the $200 plus range

How old is your Jawbreaker mama? Very nice that you have all the colors coming in and your macro picture is awesome. My mama at 4 years old is just popping the green color. From what I understand it takes anywhere from 5-8 years to get the purple coming in from a naturally growing jawbreaker.

That is simply the most stunning shroom I've ever seen. Where did you get it? I'm drooling.....

 

[akma]

Thanks guys.

This guy is about 3 years old. I bought it from a local guy who had a tank leak and sold his stuff. Gets huge during the day. About 5" maybe a bit more.
She's popped out quite a few babies as well that's on the rocks. Some of them have a good bit of red.
I paid quite a bit more than the 200$ the babies go for, but to me to have a mother with these colors was worth it. Hopefully the purple spreads more as time goes by. Pretty much I was saving money to get the new ati led/t5 combo, but that got put on hold cause of the JB. lol.

You always have great eye for the nicest corals. Great coral, probably the best purchase I seen all year.

Are you serious?! That's gotta be the most expensive discosoma I've ever heard of! I've seen some pretty pricey yumas, but nothing over $150.

Truly awesome pictures. What size macro lens did you use. I just got two babies myself but my mother is young and the colors are you faint streaks right now.
