So Who's This Tyree

[FSOL]

Pardon the ignorance, but people keep mentioning his name around and I see his corals are just dead gorgeous and rare. Who is this guy, and why is he the only one who has these corals?

 

[GACDIVER]

Steve Tyree is an author, photographer, and there have been several corals in the trade that have gotten his name through one way or another. I belive both Borneman and Sprung have written several articles on the nomenclature of many popular corals in the trade.

Quote from the site:

"This web site is the main distribution site for captive farmed corals from the farming business Reeffarmers (owned and operated by Steve Tyree). Steve has been farming and distributing captive stony corals since 1993. Back then, the captive maintainance of reef building stony corals was still considered impossible by many. "

Who wants to name their kid " LE Tyree"? Seriously!

 

[seminolecpa]

Anyone who wants the price on their kid to quadruple?

 

[GMAX]

I let Tyree name my first child -- he named him "LE Purple Grape Fuzzy Baby". We dont talk much since that day.

 

[FSOL]

hahahaa, you guys are cracking me up here.

In all seriousness, he's a guy whose very passionate about corals. You have to be, in order to continue to do what he does, despite the many obtuse remarks some people might make of him, only to barely break even at the end.

The guy knows his stuff. His Coral Farmers Market idea is really taking off and...if you hang around him long enough...you'll find that the guy can be pretty hilarious

I got the opportunity to meet and talk with Steve when I had only been in the hobby for a few months. He didn't brush me off like a newbie and I learned a great deal in that hours conversation. All the corals I got from him are doing great.
