I'll check out ellis and bob's soon then, I live in a diff house now ahah, smaller 1 story but it's better imo, more convenient for the lazy guys like me lol. Ellis is a garage store, just don't wear red/blue while going to Ellis. I like Bob's because he's friendly. He has some baller shrooms in is DT tank and an awesome mini frag tank for zoas. Man, I just saw the CFM website; looks like there's more vendors now. Gonna be a packed event. I remember you lived near a library and that's about it lol. 1 Quote Link to comment

Red_Blenny Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 LOL Ellis is one of my favs. It's ghetto but not too bad, I see dudes in 7-series parked in the streets all for Ellis. Some of my fav shrooms are from that store too and I didn't have to sell a kidney for it. That chalice, DAYUMN. I'm definitely going to try out a few chalice when I upgrade. The fungia I want is this one: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/once-upon-a-time-a-fungia-died.252814/ Quote Link to comment

Soo I was at calikids on Saturday and he just got in an aurora jawbreaker mushroom! baby one tho, but it's super rare, I didn't know about it until he mentioned it. Saying he is 1 out of 50 vendors able to get it, with only 2 being given out to vendors from sea dwelling creatures wholesales . Him and another vendor out of 50 vendors got it. Super super rare, Ben said he's going to grow it to nicket size before selling it for 3.5k......lolol Quote Link to comment

Yeah but u read the reefbuilders article about the auroa jawbreaker? It's super fkin rare lmfao...it's not that nice tho lmfao... I could buy so much nicer looking corals with 3.5k lmfao https://reefbuilders.com/2017/02/23/aurora-jawbreaker-mushroom/ https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/wicked-aurora-jawbreaker-mushroom-has-supernatural-coloration.291616/ Quote Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I've read it. There are probably tons of rare corals out there in this hobby anyways (like Planet Earth tenuis, Artist Canvas rhodactis, or Cheesecake shroom). I'm not surprised someone would sell it for lots of $$$$$$$$, there is a market for high end shrooms (or high-end anything for that matter). GF says the Aurora is pretty nice though. 1 Quote Link to comment
