WTB: Blue Sympodium

[kjonulak]

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is SW shop in and around Phoenix that carries Blue Sympodium, or if there is someone in the club that has any for sale? Thanks. It was one of my favorites in my last tank. When I moved I wasn't able to bring any of my corals and I was hoping to find some Blue Sympodium locally.

While your looking.... And since it was a favorite of yours....

Where do you like to place Sympodium? I've got a decent frag of it, and still haven't decided on it's final resting place! I've got it dead center of the tank right now, and kind of high. It reaches up towards the light, but doesn't seem to spread out very wide. Good flow in that location too.

Fins and Friends on 16th St and Bethany Home had a good size colony the other day

I had my colony mid range in my tank under moderate/high LED lighting. PAR level was around 250. The tank was an RSM130 with no hood. It's a little hard to see, but my Avatar picture is a picture of the colony I had. It doubled in size in around 3 months. The person who I gave it to placed it higher in his tank. It didn't look as happy higher up under more light. He also has LED lighting. What did happen in his tank which is a 125 gallon, is it spread to the complete opposite side of the tank. Not sure how. So he now has another colony starting.

Thanks, I will have to see if I can get over there this weekend. Any idea on the price?

It was either 49 or 59 I think. It was bigger then a baseball

Went today, they didn't have any Blue Sympodium. They did put my name on a list to call me when they get more in.

Did find a nice purple and green candy with around 15-20 heads. My tank is just finishing its cycle. They are holding the coral for me. Nice shop. Brought in a water sample which they tested. They came up with the same results as my test kits, so I feel good that the tank is almost ready.

It is not a fast grower. In the tanks I saw it in it spread in and around other corals, but did not smother the other corals.

Must have just sold it recently then. Mark had it for a while. I'm there weekly so if I see one come in I'll let you know.

Thanks. Maybe when I go back next weekend to pickup my candy cane, they will have one.

Coral reef imports had at least 4 colonies today when I was there.

Stopped at pet kona today. They had a 4" round piece for $39.99. I decided to get that and a rock with 2 green and orange Ricordeas the rock also has another mushroom on it as a bonus.

Thanks everybody.

Pet Kona has some really nice corals and they looked very healthy. Staff was very helpful also. I wasn't able to take corals with me today, so they are holding them till Tuesday.
