mvite Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 got these from my main man Marvin ! Shouldn't you carve those red ones out of the skeletons? I haven't ever had luck when they grow like that. They get trapped in little prisons. I carved the sides down and they did great. Just send them to me and I will take care of it. Link to comment
The Propagator Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Thanks for the tip. I had no idea they did that. I am new to micro's Link to comment

mvite Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 i think within a year or so i am gonna have to get on board the micro train. this guy locally runs a shop out of his house and he is really into micros. everytime i see them i can't believe the color varitions that exist. They are very cool. They are just crazy expensive. I can't believe some of the prices I have paid for a box that weighs 1lb!!! The guy I have gotten them from--doctor64776 on RC---he's the best seller ever. I get my ass whooped by coral sellers all the time--but he's like a coral concierge!!! Link to comment
ssirishpride Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 i was checking out these micros at his shop and my wife almost bought one for me cause she loved the color so much. that was until i said "ummm thats a colony he's selling, not just one indy. animal" her reply was priceless cause i never tell her what i really spend on this hobby. "so like $40 right?" i just couldn't tell her. i would ruin my perfect setup i have going. Link to comment
ENraged Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 nice for you to join us Prop.. any updated shots on those guys? what can I say... FWAP! LoLz, my friend named it appropriately, didn't he?!? Man put me down as interested in a couple of heads of that bad boy. Link to comment
mvite Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 what can I say... FWAP! LoLz, my friend named it appropriately, didn't he?!? I had to re-read this---cuz the first time I thought the FWAP sound came from my shorts. i was checking out these micros at his shop and my wife almost bought one for me cause she loved the color so much. that was until i said "ummm thats a colony he's selling, not just one indy. animal" her reply was priceless cause i never tell her what i really spend on this hobby. "so like $40 right?" i just couldn't tell her. i would ruin my perfect setup i have going. You need "man-money". And definitely don't get her concerned about micros yet. Micros should be held for the ultimate in sneaky spousal embezzlement!!! Link to comment
ENraged Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 You need "man-money". And definitely don't get her concerned about micros yet. Micros should be held for the ultimate in sneaky spousal embezzlement!!! Preach on brother..... Preach on!! My Micro purchase is useally followed by the phrase "hey did you see Macys is having a sale!" lol Works everytime Link to comment
Ebn Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Actually, just tell her that colony is indeed $40, so that next time you come home w/some, she'll think that's all you paid for it. Link to comment
mvite Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I never knew I could feel this way about a coral before.... That's a different pic of the Eden. Link to comment

The Propagator Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I usualy find alot of nice corals that way. They look like crap under the stores lighting I can usualy tell what they will look like under my lighting before I guy. When I get them home under my own lighting in less than two weeks its like angfels are singing "Ahhhhh AAAAAAAAHHHH" LOL!! Thats a BIG BIG reason I buy 98% of my stuff retail too. There is nothing like being able to see before you buy in PERSON. nice for you to join us Prop.. any updated shots on those guys? what can I say... FWAP! LoLz, my friend named it appropriately, didn't he?!? You know how I am lately Marv. LAZY !!! LOL! Right now they will probably look like "KWAP" because I was worried about keeping them in my problem tank at the moment. ( my 100 ) I have been keeping them under 2x96w PC's in my 29 for the time being. Link to comment
basser1 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Here is my first rock of MicromussaI know they are not as sweet as the ones posted here. I only paid $30 for this rock of about 13polyps on it. So I go to my local LFS and they have a nice 17-20 polyp red micromussa. I ask what the price is, and they tell me it's $500 smackers! OUCH! Needless to say, I left the store empty handed!

MDeth Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Ummm.....ME WANT SOME MICROS Marvin or anybody PM me...I'll see what $ i can scrounge up. ^^Yeah, $40 a polyp is so typical Whoever started the micro trend needs to be hung...they are awesome but way too costly Link to comment
05XRunner Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 And thi s is what I had thought was a Favia but has recently been ID'ed as a Micromussa minuta. Prop since you found out those are Micro. I have this rock. its like 100% identical to yours. Just different colors. I thought they are favites. Are they actually micro like what you got? Link to comment
