Thanks both of you. I was just curious as to cost. Did you both get them from the same place? I know you probably mentioned that on page 1 but...hey...here's me being lazy...

NakedClown · 05/02/2012, 06:56 PM

I got mine off dreef on eBay.

tcamos · 05/02/2012, 07:20 PM

I will google them. Nice stuff, both of you guys.
I'm still a big frightened of online corals but those are nice.

lostmyz · 05/02/2012, 07:28 PM

I got this stuff off Rigleautomotive and my previous stuff off clay-boa

lostmyz · 05/02/2012, 10:19 PM

Nakedclown... let's see some pics of the sexy Frags you got!

My frags showed up in not so good of shape, the packaging was horrible. im beyond ****ed, but my roommate is the one that purchased them not me haha, just using my tank till his is setup but ill upload what i have. Frags where way smaller then described.

lostmyz · 05/02/2012, 10:39 PM

Dayum! That totally sucks! But yay for them not being yours! Im weary of ebay. I know reefpets is nice bc its always WYSIWYG on ebay with him and there are a few others I have heard great things about.

They are in bad shape, but most of them just need to gain flesh which i think i can handle doing for him, colors are still decent on some.

reefpets rocks, i did get a once frag of acans from him that was eh that a got to take off which turned out good, I wanted him to order from them but he insisted on this DReef guy and let me tell you , REEFPETS got my business over this guy

lostmyz · 05/02/2012, 11:23 PM

Yeah I wonder if you're able to win a few auctions in like a 5 day span if he'd do combined shipping cause theoretically its possible. Ill have to email him on ebay about that.

Hope you don't mind me sharing what FedEx left me yesterday, he also left it at my front door, they were out there for an hour before I got home, good thing it was only 80 here in Kingman. Here are the pics.

Smallest box I've ever seen coral shipped in, about 10" square

Ordered 7, received 9, gotta love freebies

Iphone pic, from top left Jason fox psammacora (freebie), tyree pink lemonade, ORA red planet, tyree tricolor, ORA pearlberry, tenuis (freebie), palmers blue millie, BC's good god not another blue tenius, and teal tip stag.

My favorite of the bunch, BC's blue tenius.

lostmyz · 05/02/2012, 11:44 PM

nice stuff man!!!! I wanna know how you all get such good polyp extension!!!! I have it one some but not all! I don't know what I am doing wrong...

That blue tenius is pretty freaking hot!!!! Battlecorals! Nice I was going to order some stuff from them in a few months

NakedClown · 05/03/2012, 03:42 AM

Last coral in the picture is AMAZING I might have to try a frag of that!

I've never done anything special for polyp extension, my tank I don't dose anything use kalk in my ATO, 20% water change weekly and only feed my fish formula 2 pellets and frozen mysis shrimp. That's it. I think with SPS it's important for them to be parasite free for good polyp extension, I dipped a few corals last week with Bayer Bug Killer with good results.

I don't mean to rub salt in anyone's wounds here, but all the colony pictures you showed from the seller were very edited and over-saturated.
