Ocho Cinco Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 $22 shipped for a PPE is a good price IMO. I wouldn't buy it but that's just because I'd rather buy a small colony of zoas! It depends on the small colony. If it;s something common it will get boring fast. That has happened to me for a lot of stuff that;s why I'm looking for rare stuff now. Link to comment
brian92 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 For me its the thrill of collecting what I like and thats palys and zoas. As long as I like it I'll get it whether its big colony of zoas or a 1 polyp frag of some "rare" palys or zoas. Link to comment

I've been doign this for like 2 years and I've seen a lot of the common stuff and it starts to get old, so I think that's why I think I'm getting into the rare stuff and acans. Another youngin? Only 16? Link to comment

Wow, my lfs has $700 Aussie colonies that's about it. I do have misfit coral section in the tank where I have the misc lfs finds, like hydnophora and a striped shroom. Link to comment

Ocho Cinco Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nice can't wait to see pics. Did you get an awesome deal on those too? I guess. It's hard to say because I don't knwo what they are. He fragged me 2 polyps and charged me $8. I thought it was pretty good. I'll have to post in a few days. They are not open yet and I'll just wait tll I get the PDs and they open that way I can post them all at once. Link to comment
brian92 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just fragged up a green striped mushroom, that was fun I cut it in half right across the mouth. Probably could've gotten away with four pieces but I didn't want to risk it. I'm trying to take a good pic of the cuttings. Link to comment
CoRPS Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I think I may need to hold off a bit on those frags Brian. I found a local coral farmer that is selling a bunch of badass paly's and zoas for wayyyyyy less then they should be selling them for. I think the owners get back in on the 16th so I'm going to try and go in then. I'll post some pictures up if I get anything. Link to comment

Ocho Cinco Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 YGPM Let us know on here! I have a zoa/paly craving too! Link to comment
CoRPS Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The owners of the shop get in in a couple days and then I'm going to go pick some zoas out. I'll post here as soon as I get them and they open up Link to comment
brian92 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just fragged the "fire in the sky" zoa colony. I got it down to the perfect size and shape for my future display tank so I probably won't be fragging it any more after that. I got about 5 15-25 polyp frags and one big 40 polyp frag. I used some jumbo shears and cut that rock up really well. "Post Fragging Pics" when everything opens up Link to comment
brian92 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Post fragging colony Some of the frags This frag has orange centers while the others don't is it different or a case of lighting? For some strange reason bubbles form only at the top shelf of my eggcrate, no where else not on the rock or eggcrate its weird, but I'm not worried about it. Link to comment

CoRPS Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 The skeleton looks like it's... decomposing. Edit: The good news is that I think this is enough of a wake up call for me to go and buy a protein skimmer. Link to comment
