Red Wellsophyllia?

[kramgnik]

I recently saw a couple of red Wellsophyllia's (now recognized as T. radiata) on a website but they were quickly snapped up before I could purchase them. I have been looking for one for quite some time, does anyone have a suggestion of a vendor? If you have any pics of your own, post them!

Thanks,
Mark

one of the RC Sponsor's has one listed- phishybusiness.com There is a red one on page 4 of the livestock catalogue. Im sure there are others out there; theyre not too terribly uncommon.

Sweet Piece!
It looks pretty big. Have you had it long?

 

[VikeBron]

I got it from a fellow reefer when he took down his tank for a move. I have had it a couple years or so.

not a wellso but here's my red trach. when i first got it. It's opened up real big now.

UFreefer: The shape of that really looks like a Wellso. Is the bottom of the skeleton flat or conical?

Wellsophyllia no longer exists- they are all Trachyphyllia.

Porky- thats a killer trach! Super inflated

Brad-

Nice. I have one a lot like that, but a bit less green & more purple. Got mine at my LFS back in Hot Springs, Ar. before I moved. The minute i saw it, I put a deposit on it. Good thing, & a good thing the store owner was a personal friend of mine. Too people tried to buy it out from under me, & it was near thing. I dearly love T. radiata.

I saw mine at my LFS two weeks before, and really wanted it, but wasn't prepared to buy it then. I was very shocked to see it still there 2 weeks later. I guess no one could really tell how beautiful it was.

Mine wouldn't have lasted that long. LOL. (BTW, I should have edited that above reply, too many typos.).
I think also, that when I first saw it, it wasn't fully expanded. The thing can inflate to nearly twice its skeletal size. Lucky I reconized it for a showpiece from minute one!
Your even luckier i think! Great find.
