SPS Coral Blowout

I am selling off all the SPS corals from my 220 Gallon Tank. Over 30 different species of SPS coral will be available.
Here is a sample:

Acropora batunai ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ ORA Purple Pillow Top ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora hoeksemai ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora loisettae - 'Steve Elias Stag' Limited
Edition ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora mlipora ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora tenuis ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora tortusa ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora turaki ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Acropora valida ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Montipora
digitata ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Montipora capricornis (Green with Purple Rim, Orange, Green, Purple) ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Seriatopora hystrix ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢
Seriatopora caliendrum ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¢ Echinopora lamellosa 'Blue Chalice'

These coral have been collected from all over the United States. Many have been grown from small frags
to huge colonies.

This is not a FRAG sale. I am selling off the entire colonies. (Although I do have a few frags that will be sold as well.)
None of the live rock or fish are for sale.

To ensure fairness in everyone getting a chance at the corals they want everything will be sold via auction with
no reserves or minimums. Everything in the tank that day will be sold. (I am keeping the few softies and LPS)

The sale will take place on Saturday June 11th at my home in Longwood. Doors open for viewing at
11:00 am with the sale starting promptly at 1:00 pm.

I will accept Cash and Credit via Paypal ONLY. No checks. A map and directions will be posted 1 week prior to the sale.
PM me with ANY questions.

Jon,

I really want most of these corals but I have a fishing tournament that day so I guess that I miss out I need some big pieces of mother stock for my GH.

I wish I could just buy everything. Bummer, I will see if anybody is coming up that way for the auction and maybe they can buy a few for me.

Good luck,
Matt

These pics do not do justice to Jon's tank. It really is spectacular.
