They had some huge sun coral colonies at coral corral. I think it was a display tank though; didn't see any prices on them.

just know they're really high maintenance

 

[Proteinshake]

you need to feed daily

Yes I have done my reading on them this past year. I have a special tank for them to do in so I don't have to worry about nutrients in the sps tank!!! Thanks for info though

I lost my colony while I was away the past few months.. a big loss, but I had a ton of success with them prior to that. Tuck them under overhangs, if keeping under strong led or halide lighting. Also, feeding domes made from a simple plastic bottle with the bottom cut off can really encourage growth and daytime feedings without interference from any tankmates.

Coral Corral and Creative Aquariums have the best ones I've seen

I have 8 frags from a dying sun colony that a LFS gave me to rescue... They are much happier now but are not huge pieces.

 

[rogergolf66]

Where r u located and how many heads on largest one u r willing to get rid of and how much?

 

[waffler]

Bradenton. My lights are still ramping up but once they are bright enough I will take a picture of the frags. I would say average 4-6 heads on each. The colony was almost dead when the owner of my LFS gave them to me to try to save so I fragged it and it has taken almost two months to get them healthy again.

I have another bigger piece that was recently given to me to also try to save and the heads are finally growing back but it is not fully recovered yet.

I'll post a pic in a few.

Couldn't resist since I was taking pictures...

 

[rogergolf66]

Cool how much u want?

 

[Rockybottom]

Wow they look like they're doing very well and healthy!

 

[waffler]

How about a trade? I don't really feel right charging $ unless you have no frags for trade.

 

[rogergolf66]

I have corals I can trade. Do u keep sps?

 

[Seagars]

i want a couple of those purple zoos/palys at the bottom.

Oh the blue colony started as 2 polyps not sure the name and the pink ones started as 1 polyp and also don't know the name. If anyone can identify please do cause I just buy what I like when I see it lol
