metrokat Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Echinata trying to make a meal out of the porites. I'll have to move the echinata. Again. It already ate the encrusted brown coral next to it and looks like it's munching on zoas too. Bad Echinata. I've been trying to sell this thing for a while. I even fragged it. 5 Quote Link to comment

I've got plenty of room for it, and can give it things to fight if it wants it Quote Link to comment

Pinner Reef Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Evil Echinatas are evil. That cake looks nummers. Did you really deconstruct it in order to add filling? That's totally something I would have attempted and failed at doing. Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Either way its a nice looking coral and I am sad I did not get it with my last shipment from you. Everything else is happy but the ricordia. Jumped off the plug and landed in a world of hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It's an echinata. A designer echinata. Today: LE Jason fox ultra designer Tomorrow: $5 at the LFS's frag rack 4 Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Frags are $20+ here at LFS. We have LFS that all frags are $20 no matter what they are, but they do not frag a bunch. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 http://www.jasonfoxsignaturecorals.com/product_p/lps-02.htm when i bought it in Dec 2011, at 1/2-3/4 inch size: overrated Today: LE Jason fox ultra designer Tomorrow: $5 at the LFS's frag rack Frags are $20+ here at LFS. We have LFS that all frags are $20 no matter what they are, but they do not frag a bunch. I am positive they aren't Jason Fox, his wholesale prices are more than that Either way its a nice looking coral and I am sad I did not get it with my last shipment from you. Everything else is happy but the ricordia. Jumped off the plug and landed in a world of hurt. is it going to be okay? Evil Echinatas are evil.That cake looks nummers. Did you really deconstruct it in order to add filling? That's totally something I would have attempted and failed at doing. I really did deconstruct it to put the filling. I hadn't started piping the roses yet, just the icing was being put on. 1 Quote Link to comment

natalia_la_loca Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Today: LE Jason fox ultra designer Tomorrow: $5 at the LFS's frag rack He's selling radioactive dragon eyes for $10 pp. Oh, sorry, they're actually "Jason Fox Fast Money Zoas"...my bad. BTW I love those zoas that your echinata is snacking on. 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'm sure there are buyers. His LPS selection has some really nice corals IMO. I'm not a fan of his zoas or SPS 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It's an echinata. A designer echinata. It's simply an Acanthastrea echinata overrated Today: LE Jason fox ultra designer Tomorrow: $5 at the LFS's frag rack Both of these I am positive they aren't Jason Fox, his wholesale prices are more than that That's really because he doesn't sell wholesale - he is a retailer that relies on his name and high prices to sell coral, and sells at slightly discounted rates to stores that are stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Let there be Cake! A tank pic and no cake on this page ... yet. That's really because he doesn't sell wholesale - he is a retailer that relies on his name and high prices to sell coral, and sells at slightly discounted rates to stores that are stupid. Like PEA. It's simply an Acanthastrea echinata it's a designer Acan Echinata. 4 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Like PEA. Have you seen stores sell PEA's stuff for such crazy prices? I haven't Liveaquaria, for instance - they get a lot of their clams from PEA, but their prices on them are actually better in some cases (others not so much). it's a designer Acan Echinata. :slap: 1 Quote Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Too much frosting on the cake. Looks good otherwise. Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Ric landed right in the middle of my frogspawn....didn't have a chance especially right after shipping it. the LFS here do not have a large selection to pic from, so hard to get even a slightly sought after zoa much anything fancy.

metrokat Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Too much frosting on the cake. Looks good otherwise. Agreed. The 2 cakes were different shapes so the extra buttercream evened it out. Ric landed right in the middle of my frogspawn....didn't have a chance especially right after shipping it. the LFS here do not have a large selection to pic from, so hard to get even a slightly sought after zoa much anything fancy. Aww heck that was a pretty ric too. Why don't poop brown corals fly off the plug Have you seen stores sell PEA's stuff for such crazy prices? I haven't I meant that Jason Fox wholesales to PEA. 1 Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Meh. I'm not impressed. Green-eyed Pink acan is what you are, mr coral. I've seen much more impressive stuff at Manhattan Aquariums or Coral Theory in person (I rarely trust images on the internet), for really reasonable prices (I'm a cheapskate yo). No idea what you paid for your original frag, but I was at Coral Theory a while back, and they were fragging these beatiful rainbow acans that they were offering for like $20/frag (those things were like at least an inch). I'm not a huge acan fan, but i was REALLY tempted Quote Link to comment
tailes Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Let there be Cake! Like PEA. it's a designer Acan Echinata. Just so you know, i scrolled to this cake pic and Chloe went nuts LOL Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 <---- for Chloe You couldn't see her face at dinner the last time we met. (Chicken and waffles mama Tailes). But when you slid her across the table to me, her eyes went slowly wide as she got closer to me. I need an animated gif to illustrate 2 Quote Link to comment
