whoa thats pricey! very nice peice though

 

[PelagicMagic]

thats really not pricey.... I passed on that one knowing they would post a nicer one for a little more. They posted another for sale today that is not as nice and I regret not buying the first one. I am holding out for the next one...

Symphyllia wilsoni is the holy grail of LPS (for now)

Ian, that is the second one they put up for sale. You should have seen the one they had yesterday. It was not a stunner but was much nicer than the current piece. This coral comes in rainbow colors (3 + colors) so these dont make the cut.

 

[Ian]

yeah, that one was nice...

I'd love one of the crazy orange/red/green ones but they're $800+. Here's mine...

Ive had it almost 2 years now...

 

[PelagicMagic]

yours is nicer than the current divers den specimen.

Liveaquaria will sell a tri color for 500 +or-

look at the bright side, scolymia australis will now come down in price...

Still kicking myself for not buying the first one.

And its still very possible to find a wilsoni at a LFS that has no clue what they have.

well get on up here to canada and pay a visit to Ottawa Inverts. I bought mine there for $70. They are a stunning coral. I read that there were only an estimated 500 collected and imported to the US. Obviously that number is climbing though.

Ian you have a very nice peice.

Here's ours, paid $375, it's about 4"-5" across at the widest point. Only had it two days and have yet to see any tentacles and the tissue is not "opened" up quite yet.

Ian, do you feed yours?

That's where I first heard of them. If I hadn't just upgraded my lighting I would be all over that http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+8&ddid=77898. Somebody buy that!

I have two of these beauties and they are by far one of my favorite types of corals
