Hi Kim! I'll take frag C of the mystic grape favia

Hi everybody! Been a minute since I've posted.

As the title indicates, I am looking for some interesting corals that encrust without a lot of stucture - plates, columns, etc. For trade, I have tons of pieces of:

• LA Lakers turbinaria
• Jack o lantern lepto
• rose stylophora
• purple stylophora
• Idaho grape monti
• rainbowish rbta's
• seafoam green & orange multicolor yumas
• photosynthetic pink gorgonians
• pink Sakura zoanthids
• various softies

I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I can also buy things from you... or pay you in bar credit. Sorry I have no photos of these at my fingertips at the moment. Let me know what you've got.

As always, my stuff is at moloko for your perusal over a cocktail, Shirley Temple, or ice water.

Mine is singular. I had a pair a few years back. I think this is a matter of preference.

I have one that is hanging out right next to a cleaner shrimp, fire shrimp, AND a pistol/gobie combo. Wide open 150 gallon tank & it's just chillin with all the other shrimp for some reason. So I report no problems there.

They do a number on the asterinas for sure. Worth it? Definitely, IMO, and I love harlequin shrimp - the coolest small shrimp, if you ask me. Mine has pretty much cleaned one tank out. So I plan to catch it soon & move it to another tank.

They will probably eat the brittle stars, but I dunno. Seems like brittle stars might be able to fight back. I don't think the harlequin shrimp have a whole lotta fight in them. They seem to rely on a sort of hypnosis technique.

I have these tiny lavender asterinas that eat certain types of zoanthids, but I've never seen them eat sps. Doesn't mean they don't, of course. I find the larger white ones to be less problematic.

I have lots of pink, lots of purple. Would be up for a trade.

Tried to send you a message, but it said you can’t receive them? Gimme a shout. I could pick one up tomorrow 

What a guy! Happy Birthday Bill!

More frags available. Bump!

Talk to me. For rent?

We could work out some sort of Rent-a-Center type thing where instead of paying $50 outright, you sign your life over to me, ruin your credit, & pay $10/week for 5 years. 

Edited for repost, 3/17:

Hi everybody! I've got a whole bunch more of these fully encrusted Jason Fox Jack-o-lantern Leptoseris frags for sale or trade. I've lowered the price to $40 because I have so many.

These corals are beautiful & pretty much bulletproof. I love them. I'll be gone this weekend, so pickup will have to be tomorrow before 2:30 pm or by appointment any time next week. They are currently in the frag rack in the left side of the 130 behind the bar & in the back 150 gallon tank at Moloko in case you happen to come through for a drink & want to take a look.

For trades I am looking for bright Bubbletip anemones of any colors that I don't have. (I have "rainbow" rose anemones with a pale green oral disc. I am also looking for a happy, healthy rabbitfish. Let me know what else you've got.

I will not ship.

Jack-o-lantern $40

Oh. Looks like you may have figured all that out already...

Not sure it's dead, but... You wouldn't be the first to have one of these die without ever fully acclimating. If this should go that way & you decide you want another sebae, one thing to be careful & avoid with those is any that look really white. Healthy photosynthetic anemones are not white. When they look like that, it's because they have lost their zooxanthellae & are very stressed. It's probably possible to bring them back from that state, but it's no sure thing.

I think I saw that Bob Fenner mention once something about force feeding them to try to bring them back from that state. It's hard for them to recover from transplant & shipping stress when they have no symbiotic algae left to generate energy.

I would trade you one or two. I have some that are "rainbow" colored. Mostly rose, but with a lot of green. I'll could let you know when one migrates to a smaller rock or moves to a place where I can collect it. They are all at Moloko, if you're in the neighborhood & want to take a look sometime.

It was creeping up the wall, so I turned off the vortech, figuring I'd peel it off the wall tomorrow. The next morning, there it was! Perfect placement.

Having a bit of an STN problem on some of my SPS.   Thanks for not calling attention to it! I'm thinking I need to replace the LED's as the blues have faded out.

Excellent! I'll be ready for you.

Do you mean that you will take both tanks and the stand?

It's a package deal, yo.  

I have a 70 gallon corner pentagon 24x24x30tall & a tank that is 60x18x24 which has a clunky stand & hood.

The corner tank is a former display that I've retired from Moloko. It has some scratches & crazing. The other is one I picked up for free on the forum & ended up not using. They both hold water, but are mostly good for auxiliary or quarantine tanks.

These are available for pickup at Moloko. I need them gone in the next 48 hours. If you want one, you must take both.

I sent you a message.

Thanks everybody!

We are having a little soirée at the bar tonight to mark 9 years of our existence on Earth. It will start early (5:00!) and continue until the wee hours with DJ's, birthday cake, & great times generally.

I would love to see some reefer friends come through! 

Harbor freight all the way.

I've had about as big an infestation of this as you have ever seen, most likely.

If it does take hold, I would suggest rabbitfish. I find magnificent foxfaces are the safest and very effective. Most tangs won't touch it, & emerald crabs usually don't do much of anything positive. Urchins will scrape the rock & theoretically keep the baby bubbles from maturing.

Way to go Jeramy! It is a pretty amazing photo.
