Colony too large cheap frags

icycoral · 04/05/2013, 08:43 PM

Hi everyone,

My tyree Idaho grape is getting too large for my small tank. It's starting to shade out some corals and that isn't sitting well with me. I started to take off a few small pieces but realized maybe someone else would like a nice sized colony of it. I have a few small frags of it for $5 available for pick up at my place or if someone would like they could take the whole thing for $50. Here are a few iPhone pics that just don't do it justice as the sensor in the camera doesn't pick up purple very well. If you've heard of Steve tyree you know he doesn't put his name on junk, it's a very nice coral.

Way back when it was a little fella

A recent frag sold (not wysiwyg)

An iPhone macro

Again these pictures don't do it justice they are just cell phone picks. I'll get a top down tomorrow when the lights are on. It is a very nice purple skeleton with purple polyps that almost make it look like it sparkles.

Thanks for looking
Eric

Bump for a nice piece at a great price. Ive seen this colony in Icy's tank. The pics dont do it justice. If i had the room i would buy the whole thing.

Pretty sure you can get in trouble for trying to circumvent RC rules. Your prob better off just to start a thread and introduce yourself. Talk about your tank and your experience. You'll have ten legit posts in no time man.

Hi Eric, it was nice to meet you yesterday. I am very interested in a frag of this but would like to know more about its needs so I can be sure it will do well in my tank. Thanks!

Hi Leslie,
It was nice to meet you as well.
This coral, as far as sps go, is practically bullet proof. It needs moderate light, moderate flow, moderately clean water, and moderately stable params. It's pretty forgiving in my experience.

LeslieP · 04/21/2013, 11:12 AM

Sounds great, I can definitely provide all of that. I would love a frag if you still have one available.

JawnnyT · 04/21/2013, 09:39 PM

Thanks so much for the frags! Good stuff! They are all in the tank and look like they're doing well. I'll let you know how things go!

Good to meet you man!
