If you're asking yourself "what the heck is Eric doing now", the answer is here:
http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1752291

Note: I spent little to no time behind the camera or editing. These are thrown together and the best 2 second effort to get the colors close. I won't feel at all bad if you'd like to swing by to see the corals in person just to get an idea how everything looks. Many (including myself) are HORRRRIBLE with SPS names, so I figured a quick poor picture was better than nothing.

I'd like this done sooner rather than later, however I realize it will be near impossible for this stuff (especially the large colonies I think) to sell overnight. I have a good chunk of December off. Weekdays after 5, and most all of Friday/Saturday/Sunday all work.

A couple of caveats/stipulations. A number of these are colonies grown onto live rock. Unless listed as something that needs to be broken up, I'm going to attempt to get them out and into your possession in one piece. Some that will be easy. Others, they encrust like mad and it will require some effort. Those that are attached to small rubble may or may not have some minor algae on them (bubble specifically). Easily removed and/or re-mount the frags/colonies if that's an issue.

Again, looking to sell whole here. If I have any thought that you're going to buy a colony and frag it up for sale, you won't get it. If I happen to sell to you and hear that you've done just that, I will be less than happy.

All in all, everything is in good health. As I mentioned in the thread discussing my plans, the SPS are all in good shape, but colors are not perfect due to extra nutrients and my severe lack of any tank maintenance in the last year. No signs of any pests (be it RB, AEFW, FW, nudi, etc) that I've seen, however as always quarantine is always the best way to go regardless of who you get things from.

Coral, trade, or otherwise, I don't have much in mind. I need to get this broken down and my corals into the new tank before I determine what else I'd like to keep and/or have space for. Feel free to make an offer or trade, but realize it's not highly likely I'll take it.

That's my speech. Onto the SPS (+1 softie). And yes, I've made up a number of names on these, becuase I haven't the slightest on some. :lol:

Click on the smaller pictures for larger images.

A) GSP, HUGE chunk $5
First and only non-SPS. I have GSP that is about 1'x1' growing on the overflow. BFT snail in the bottom left for size comparison. If you're on the way over to get some SPS, I'll cut off a chunk for free if you want it.


B1) Bali Green Slimer colony $200
B2) 4x Large frags (2-4") $15
B3) Small frag $5
Great growth. Roughly a 12-16" cubic area, and will require either a large bucket or tupperware bin to get it home. Relatively easy to get out in one piece (on a piece of 2-3" rubble rock on top of the main rock).


C1) Large orange/red digi colony $200
C2) 3x large (3" or so) frags $15
C3) 1 base starter (2-3" rock covered encrusted) $15
C4) 2 small frags $5
Roughly 10" square. So hardly, it literally grows across the sand. Very large base with a ton of branches.

D) 2x Red/blue millie/prosta $50
Two slightly different types of these. Roughly 5" long.



E) "traki" $30
Sold to me as a "trakil", it resembles a green slimer, but has a number of different features. 7-8" long.



F1) "gimme shrubbary" $200
F2) 2x Large frag $20
F3) 2x Small frag $10
Very fast growing, the most green/teal coral I've ever seen. Appears to be moving heavily towards a large V and tabling setup. Roughly 5x5" on top.



G) Scroll coral $20, scarlett crabs not included :lol:


H1) Deepwater Bottlebrush $150
H2) Mini Deepwater Bottlebrush $35
Extremely dense coral, 3" and 2" square respectively. (frag not pictured)

 
I) Undata $25
About 2-3", HOPE to get it off the rock with relative ease.



J1) Tabling Efflo #1 $40 (pic 1-2)
J2) Tabling Efflo #2 $50 (pic 3)
This is one of those corals that I'm disappointed with due to my tank conditions. I guarantee it will look better in a better kept system. 1 is mounted on a large rock, 1 on rubble. Sell from $50-$500 (yes 500).




K1) "purdy" $150
K2) "purdy mini" $40
I can't recall the name of this acro. This is one of those that I would hate to see broken up into frags. It's about 3" square, and one of my favorite SPS.
 
L1) Torts Oregon/ORA $30 (pic 1-2)
L2) O/O $20 (pic 3)
L3) Cali $25 (pic 4-5)
Three different torts, two the same type.






M) "stubby" $30
I can't even recall where I got this. I think it was a phosphate ridden green when I received it in a group of frags. It was only about 1/4" at that point. It's moving along very quickly now, and appear as though it will be a tabling type. Looks to have great potential, but only time will tell.



N) Monti confusa $5-20
This is one that just isn't going to come off in one piece. $5 for a arm frag, $20 if I can get the big disk off the rock in one piece



O) "Like K but not K" $20
Much like K, but lighter. Structure appears to be similar.
 
P) Light rose/pink millie $50
This will be a monster colony VERY quickly. This was the longest encrusting frag I've ever had. The stupmp in the left/bottom is what I started with. Over nine months, it encrusted completely around a 3" rock, and literally in the last two-three weeks over a dozen branches have blown out of the side in three different spots. Give it room, becuase it's going big.


Q1) Green Millie $250
Q2) 4x frags $10
This one may be slightly hard to get off the rock, but I believe I can do it in mostly one piece. It stretches about 8" into the water and grows like a weed.



R1) Tricolor table $450
R2) Larger starter colony $50
R3) Smaller starter colonies at $40, 30, 20
R4) Large frags $15
R5) Small frags $5
Table is about 7-8" across. Typically a light trim is good for about $500-750 in frag trades at the fragswaps. Very easy to remove in one piece, but an easily fragged coral (use caution in transport). I have a ton of frags of this.




Misc other corals (some in the large frag picture):

S1) Green monti cap $10
S2) Unknown ORA frag (think it might have been blue iris) $30
S3) Superman monti frag $20
S4) Rainbow monti$20
S5) Sunset monti (big and small)$20 and $10

 
I received an absolute ton of PM's, so please bear with me as I sort through all the requests. I will PM everyone back.
 
Just a quick update on what's sold. I'll reply to everyone's PM's still tonight.

I'm caught up on PM's

Availability and price update. I hadn't planned on marking things down this quick, but I'm getting a ton of PM interest, much more than I expected this time of year. That leads me to believe I can break things down a bit quicker than I imagined instead of taking a few months to sell off the SPS. Many are coming over to see the tank before making decisions. Those corals are not currently listed on the pending list (even though someone may be interested) and are on a first come first serve basis (minus corals already reserved via PM).

I'm caught up on PM's. I only have two that haven't come by yet, so the list is very accurate.

I dropped the prices on everything. I've sold a relatively large chunk of the frags and corals, so this what remains. I have enough sump space to store these, but I'd prefer to keep them in the main tank for as long as possible.

Again, if anyone has questions, wants additional pictures, isn't sure of the sizes, or whatever, ask away!
