What Mel's bringing to the swap

[EvilMel]

ZOANTHIDS

Red Ring Green Skirt zoas: First is a serious macro shot, then a regular picture to be fair (I don't like it when you only see a macro shot). $10 for ~8-10 polyps

Green and brown zoas - 1 frag (part of this one) $10 for ~8-10 polyps

Grab bag frag #1: green palythoas and RRGS zoas $10 (actual frag shown)

Grab bag frag #2 (in the middle of the picture): I think it's dragon eyes and possibly radioactive dragon eyes, but I can't be sure. $15 (actual frag shown)

Brown with yellow burst, it will be part of this one. $10 for ~5-8 polyps.

Supposed to be safecrackers but the blue doesn't come out very well in my tank. $20 for ~5-10 polyps.

Pink and red zoas $10 for ~5-10 polyps.

Here's a different pink and red one:

PHEs. I got these straight from Hellraisers30 and I will only sell them for what I paid for them (which is totally crazy but I love them), $20 per polyp maximum of 4 polyps sold. I really can't believe how bad this picture looks, but anyways!

MORE ZOANTHIDS


These have a bright orange mouth, dark green ring, purpley brown ring, then a greenish yellow skirt. $10 for ~5-10 polyps (maybe more polyps just depending on how many I cut off there, for example...this is one of the frags I have available).

Palythoas $8 for as many as you want, hah hah. Really it will be a lot of them on each frag.

Grey blue protopalythoas $10 for a ton of polyps.

Green palythoas $10 for ~5.

This is my sea of EMGS frags. You can see some other pictures on ZoaID.com if you want to get a closer look, but I think lots of people already know what they look like. These zoanthids are practically indestructible. They are $10 for how ever many I cut off there, which is usually more than 10-15, sometimes 20-25.

Also pictured in the one above is the yellow polyp frags that I have. They aren't zoanthids, but they are in the picture so I included them with this part of my thread. $10 for a bunch.

SPS

Green base, purple tipped acro (picture doesn't show the green base at all but it's turning greener and greener every day). $10 for whatever I cut but it won't be miniscule, I promise (ask anyone).

Here's a picture of my Blue tipped coral. I think it's a stag but the branches are a lot more thin that a regular stag. It makes those long branches just like a stag though. We all know I am horrible at identification and just keep/sell the ones I like. hah hah. This "frag" is about 6" long (estimating) and I will sell it for $20. The picture totally washes out the blue tips, but it's very pretty IMO. It's the 5 branched long piece in front (actual frag) with the mother colony behind it - sorry that's a bit confusing.

Here's my Acropora valida from Atlantis. I paid somewhere along the lines of $50 for a tiny frag, but I will sell this one for $15 for a smallish piece (not a miniscule .025" piece or anything, but a decent/kinda small piece). I know that this looks really purple but it's actually a LOT more purple in real life. It's one of those corals that really truely is a deep purple (not the lavendar that many of us, me included, call purple on some sps).

I might be able to be conned into fragging my Pocillopra that I love so much if anyone is interested. Just let me know if you want one.

Selling the pink and purple acro again if anyone wants a piece. It's recovered from the last round of fragging but I need a skimmer so let's chop it away again. $15 for a decent sized piece. Some will be multibranched and all will be mounted on bits of rock.

OTHER SOFTIES

Good old stand by Spaghetti leather, $10 for big pieces that I will mount onto rock before I bring to you. If you are new, this is a good coral to start out with because it's very fast growing and very tolerant to all kinds of tank conditions.

Purple with blue dots mushroom. I'm only selling one of these mushrooms and it's $10.

Giant frilly mushroom. I just don't want this guy anymore. It rocks, but I just don't like mushrooms that much. $50 and is on a decent sizzed piece of rock. It's also splitting (has two mouthes).

 

[EvilMel]

I left off the carnation pink zoanthids $10 for ~5-10 polyps. You can't see it here but the mouthes are mint green.

Ok I have to add one more thing. I'm pretty much bringing most of the zoas but the sps, and things included in "other softies" are ones I would like someone to express interest in before cutting.

I'll probably bring a few sps frags but if there's something you want in that group, try to let me know! I'm terribly sorry about the short notice.

 

[Angela Short]

got any frags of just the orange center ones in grab bag #2. I am bringing tons of the green centers on the rock but like the orange centers!

 

[H@rry]

Mel - Put me down for:

Green base - purple tip, blue tipped stag, valida, and pink & purple acro. See my thread in this forum for swap items or I'll buy them outright, let me know.

Thanx
H@rry

 

[EvilMel]

Ok Harry, no problem.

Here's that macro shot. I am totally not sure why it got deleted.

Hi Mel
Sign me up for all the SPSs you have except the blue tip (already have a large piece in my tank). Also interested in the monster-shroom. Do you have it in with your SPSs? What type of lighting does it need? and what water flow?

Thanks
John

 

[gflat65]

Hey Mel, put me down for two frags of the EMGS.

 

[EvilMel]

John, Hi. Did you want me to cut a frag of the Pocillopora as well? LMK!
Also, the mushroom is under 400W MHs normally but currently it's sitting in a dark corner of the tank and doing fine. So you can just keep it under decent lighting I would imagine. As far as flow...not too sure. I have had it in a tank with not too terribly much flow and I've had it sitting right near a powerhead. I'd say it will be fine with most any flow as long as it's not getting sucked into a powerhead or something (but it's mounted so that's easy to keep from happening).

Gary: got it. No problem on that one.

 

[gflat65]

I figured you could cover that one. I lost half of what I had to zoa pox (that was it, though).

 

[TNCoralreefer]

Mel, Yes on the Poci please and put my name on the Shroom. Cya in the morning

 

[ct_vol]

Shooting you a PM Mel...

 

[EvilMel]

I still have a bunch of the zoanthids if anyone wants some. I can also cut more frags of most of the sps if you'd want some of that too.

LMK!!

 

[ct_vol]

Still have mine in reserve Mel??? If you want I can come by sometime this week...

 

[EvilMel]

Hey Randy, yeah I still have your stuff in reserve...yours and Larry's.

I will be cutting a couple of your frags tomorrow (taking the week off kinda) so you can come by any time after that! I'll be around a lot so just let me know when you want to come by.

 

[ct_vol]

Mel~ Awesome... I probably won't make it this week... My father comes in town Friday, and I have some projects/cleaning to do... I'll try and make it out sometime next week... Let me know if theres any night better than the other...

 

[EvilMel]

Nope...around all the time. Next week is ok too. Just call me when you have a free moment to pop by and I will see where I am.
