Bound to happen but that's like with hobbies; there's always going to be someone who is super picky and would rather own the nice/rare stuff.

 

If anything, at least you don't have to do a water change for the trading card game.

Man, dnov99's rescued chalice...is sick. This is from dnov99's thread, not my coral.

Look at dnov99's rainbow meat...drools. http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/large-aquariums-180g/75511-dnov99s-260-gal-eye-candy-thread-4.html

 

 

That meat coral looks like mine.

 

Yeah, lots of nice Yumas and Rhoadactis. Candy Crush mushies look like this:

More green and purple, less orange.

Here are the Vietnam/Tonga smooth skin Jawbreakers:

Here's the Uranium 235/Green Bounce, and the OG Bounce for comparison.

 

Those jawbreakers look nice!

 

You are making want to do an eye candy lps and shroom tank. It's this guy selling an elos mini in my state that I might contact and use that. Also, I had started collecting blastomussas (some expensive) but some odd reason, they all died. I have never had that level of difficulty with them. The would shrivel up, harden and die. I thought it was too much light but even in low light, the same occurred for the remaining ones.

[benjho]

Give me the name of the coral you want the most, I got skillz when it comes to finding stuff online.

 

The bounce mushroom. With yellow/orange bubbles.

It really is. Lol, except I don't do trades, I do cash...

 

And that corals are live not cardboard, unless you're talking about pokemon in general lol.

This hobby also seems much more mature than a pokemon trading card game.

You wish!! Lol

Blastomussas are not easy but they're not hard either. I've had like 80-90% success with them. They don't like waterflow at all, and prefers low-medium light. They don't do well in sps water either. They do well in zoas/palys water kind of thing, in other words, established not too clean water.

[ReviloM]

You wish!! Lol

 

lol its the same color pattern except his has more red splashes.

[benjho]

lol its the same color pattern except his has more red splashes.

 

Nahhh man. His has dark green, light teal, dark blue, red and orange. Yours is only 3 colors: light teal, dark blue and orange. He has many more stripes than you too.

It's actually more than 3 colors. The photo was taken under just 2 Blue + bulbs. Since then, I have it under my maxspect celestial. I will take another picture later,

[benjho]

How often do you feed? I just got my first one,ever, and haven't fed it.

 

 

Lol. Looks like a warpaint scoly to me except that it is a meat coral.

It does now that you say that. It has this nipple on the bottom that keeps it from being flat on my bare bottom. It has a perfectly round skeleton though.

It's a meat alright. Definitely not a rainbow like dnov99's, but it's still prettier than my meat corals lol.

Yup and life goes on.

[benjho]

Dude, that's pretty sick and I'm not a blasto person.

You guys are being taken for such a ride with these prices. Le sigh.

Lol, I like 'em but I wouldn't buy 'em. It's eye candy to me.

Yupp, sick wicked piece.

They're beautiful and I'm not trying to be a downer but I just think these prices are ridiculous. Many of these corals (or very similar ones) are sold worldwide but without a name for 1/10 of the price. Oh well.

At least the money is making someone happy.

 

I remember when I paid $450 for my master scoly in my current profile picture from ReefKoi at Reef-a-palooza. Boy, was he jumping up and down when I took out my cash and hand it to him.

[Squared]

no FTS?

 

those bounce shrooms are insane, wish i could afford even a low-end one

[benjho]

I made this guy on the right happy when I bought the master scoly from him. Think his name was Chris, founder of reefkoi.

Not gonna lie though, he's got some eyecandy stuff.....check out this bounce he had for sale not too long ago.

 

 

He has this plate for sale right now.

 

 

Nevermind, it sold already.

There's 1 in the 1st page in the 1st post. That's as good as it gets lol.

There's deals out there that requires patience. One time, I picked up a mushroom that is normally $90-$120 for $50. I also picked up a pricey acan for a reasonable price.

Dude, Reefkoi is one of my favorite online retailer for corals. I picked up a unique multi-colored rhodactis mushroom from him like almost a year ago... I'm still waiting for his other famous mushroom, "Artist Canvas". And when he was selling his Bounce, I think that was the cheapest I've seen it so far.
