Jake - That's a crazy encrusting monti. Good find.

Yeah most of the polyps are brown in the center but it looks pretty good. I love the blue base.

 

[Jacob D]

It's a bad pic, most of the polyps are dark green, with some brownish orange polyps scattered throughout. I saw them around the time you guys got yours so I know know it has potential, I think there were still a couple more pieces, or they may have been a different color morph, hard to tell now that everything has been there so long.

 

[Bdimas]

I kinda thought there was another color morph also. You should get it so we can see what color it will turn into.

 

[gklompen]

There was another color morph. I went back to get one of the blue ones and almost left with the wrong one thinking it was just browned out. I think John said the other one has purple polyps.

The first one I bought for myself didn't have any orange polyps. I had no idea what Bryan was talking about when he said it has green and orange polyps. The funny thing is that around where a worm comes through the coral to feed and irritates it looks like it is developing orange polyps. The second one I got had small patches of orange polyps, but none were on the edge and not near as extensive as Jacob's picture. It may be my imagination, but I think those patches are decreasing in size. It will definitely be interesting to see how they all change.

Has anyone been there in a while?

 

[MrMonkeyFingers]

I haven't been anywhere in a while

 

[lanxang]

was there yesterday to pick up the mesh. He didn't really have anything new.

I did pick up a 1 head of yuma, a frag of netphea (sp?), and red mushroom for almost free. I guess it pays to be a long time customer.

 

[Bdimas]

I stopped by there today and John did'nt have much. There was some pretty cool looking yumas though. I picked up a cool looking elegence.

 

[RiOnRoxXx]

Went here today also didn't see anything I wanted...I'm more lookin' into fish for the time being but maybe one day be like you guys...discount pet had a few fish I liked...

 

[Jacob D]

Just came from Twins. They have a decent amount of corals and fish in right now. John just set up a ricordia tank on the opposite side from the halide lit tanks, this one is also lit by halides. He had a few yellow and purple ricordia (florida species), I couldn't resist and grabbed one. Also got a blue one. He has a handfull of ricordia yuma in there but I couldn't tell the color too well, he just scooped them out of the other tank and put them in there.

 

[lanxang]

I bought some too. Mine ric is blue with orange bumps. I wonder why he's getting in so much.

Sorry, I appreciate that this thread is a good source of timely info for locals but I didn't have the patience to wade through 8 pages of year old postings saying: "John's got blastos today." So if the question has already been asked, please pardon.

Do they have a website?

Thanks.

 

[lanxang]

No website, just "john got blasto today".

Do they have a website?

Thanks.

No.

 

[Jacob D]

There's really no reason to go back and look at any threads besides the most recent. Besides if they had a website the locals wouldn't get all the good stuff any more... or at least not at the prices we get them for

 

[kevin95695]

Does he have blastos today?

 

[lanxang]

actually yes. He also has acans and well lots of Yumas/Rics.

 

[Bdimas]

I NEED more acans.

 

[Jacob D]

There were some acans at Twins, and a couple micromussa. One of the micros was pretty nice, but pricey. Lots of ricordias right now too.
