StinkyBunny Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 That's a Favia @Weikel. Favites have smaller polyps and are more sunken. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I have this pale pink Milli in the corner of one of the runs. Dunno where it came from, but it's been growing like mad. One of the fraggers has been trying to get it off me and I won't let them touch it. It's on a little 3" piece of rock, as it grows, I drop it loser in the tank. I told him when it gets close to the surface you can buy it, but I get the top to replant. That one, a piece of Green Slimer from Kat and a Bali blue Slimer are the only sticks I have. I have the odd volunteer of Montipora here and there, but these are my babies. I'm scared shitless to move them, lol. I sell a shittonne of them, but they're only here for a few days. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nice piece. I need to get more meaty corals for my tank while they’re still reasonably priced. Edit: price was for a little bit smaller piece tho. I got several torches tho. Quote Link to comment

Gold one I saw earlier today was $190 but not sure if it was one or two heads. But it looked sad. Too risky. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lucky you. The one with blue tips was $190 from one of the locals but I passed. Prices on this crap are getting out of hand. I guess ppl are willing to pay top dollar for this stuff....

I got Walt Disney for $35 lol You did mentioned that you paid $100 but was that what he was selling as Holy Grail? Or was it something else. I have seen few Holy Grails in person and they all looked a little different. To be honest, they were all nice but one stood out. It was Indo HG with amazingly long tentacles and even more amazing rainbow like coloration. I have seen it under Kessils that I am very familiar with so there was no chance that I could be fools with unfamiliar light. 35 minutes ago, banasophia said: Hey now... don’t knock the common torches!!! 😂 My Nuvo torches are common, but pretty. 😊 I’m not knocking.

Yes was selling as the hg and knowing the guy who had the tank I am sure it's correct...he had a lot of nice corals. Quote Link to comment
