RESONANCE Posted March 7, 2011 Blue sympodium. Nice find. How much did you get the colony for? Quote Link to comment
LebaneseDlight Posted March 7, 2011 oooh, me wants! I'm in los angeles if you're ever thinning out the colony and looking for new home$. Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 Actually this is blue/green sympoduim, hard to tell from the pic I guess. Before I say how much this cost me, I am curious what others around the country/world would/do pay for something similar. I am not interested in fraging/selling any, just curious, that's all...

pheallox Posted March 8, 2011 My wife snagged a 2x3 frag at RAP last year from cherry corals for $25 good find but we got a vendor to vendor deal. Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 cherry corals huh?...they have some beautiful stuff. Those Krakan acans, the #1's....wow!!! I paid $80 for the 15 heads, don't know where that lies in as far as "deals" but I saw it, had to have it...they are so fresh in person and the rock they are on will give them plenty of room to grow.

pheallox Posted March 8, 2011 well you got a deal since it will take no time to cover that rock and if you didnt mind waiting a little longer you can cut a couple off and sell them to make it a free frag. Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 The are directly under some 6watt LEDS,(8000k white/453nm blue) ...med. flow on 20 second timed intervals... ...how do you think they will fair? I had them on the bottom (15inches) and when I moved them up top they all just popped out and are now pretty bushy, they even ate some of the cyclop-eeze floatin' around. Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 Maybe I should split the rock NOW before it spreads too much and that way I will have 3/4 pieces all growing out at the same time. That might make for some better pieces down the road, what do you think? Quote Link to comment
saltwatercoral Posted March 8, 2011 Dude!!! That is an awesome looking coral! What light do you you have them under? It's sick looking!!! Keep up the good work man. I'm a follower of your tank! Keep the corals and LEDs coming! Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 Thanx SWC! I am a broke a_s b_stard right now, but I saw this and like a good reef addict just had to buy it! I had seen some in mags and on line before, but never one starring me in the face! I went in for a CUC and walked out smilin'. Quote Link to comment
ReefEscape Posted March 8, 2011 If you think you may want to split them, do it now. I won a frag at our club Christmas party on Jan 3. It had 5 "pods" on a 3" rock. I put it on the sand under 72w PC bulbs and it has covered the rock and is growing down the sides in 2 months. Quote Link to comment
pschom Posted March 8, 2011 I found a frag of these for $60. It's probably around 2 inches. Is the reasonable? This is a sweet coral! Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 I would think so, is it solid two inches? The rock there are on is about 3 x 5 and it's not fully covered, I'd so a little over half. If you think it's worth it, buy it. They are sweet dude... Quote Link to comment
pheallox Posted March 8, 2011 cut the small clusters off the edge.......mine has doubled and it is about 18" under a par38 20k from bootled with almost no flow it is a softy mini nem tank and I havent feed it once but the colors are insane and I know what you mean I cant take a single pic that captures the green around the edge.

reef-luva Posted March 8, 2011 ...sounds like a plan, soon I will have three decent clusters to sell.. *evil laugh.... Quote Link to comment
pheallox Posted March 8, 2011 I personally like the tile cutting bit for a dremil. Quote Link to comment
saltwatercoral Posted March 8, 2011 This makes me want to put the rest of the stuff i need on a credit card and get some of that!!! Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 9, 2011 Wow, I can see growth in these even after just two days... ...LED's, Coral-Vite and cyclop-eeze. Quote Link to comment
