Why can't I find anything like this? Supposedly this came from reefermadness, but I have never seen anything even close to this on their site.

ohhh-purty

 

[reefwonders]

Look at this purty. Someone on Rc has this one.

 

[speedstar]

Yep, It sold real quick at $200. They also had a similar piece that went for $179? the same day. The guy that bought it is on RC alot.

 

[DLBerlin]

Yeah I saw that one Bob-definately purty!!

 

[reefwonders]

I've been moving a lot of my stuff from the stock tank into the 90 so I can see them again. Boy I have some purties I forgot about and some new additions that colored up really nice too. I'll post pics as soon as I can. I'm on 12hrs all week. Those pinks have more than tripled in size. Did you see the safecracker zoo's-Bob

 

[DLBerlin]

Yeah those are real nice!

 

[camelot]

That's a awesome picture. Nice coral too.

Awesome Acro.

This is one of my biggest complaints/reasons for not wanting to continue keeping a reef. I see all these people with these amazing corals, while the only stuff I ever find is boring green and brown garbage. I've FINALLY started to find colorful Caps at Pet Connection, but usually any frags they may have are sold out. It's like, who do I have to do favors for in order to find some of this stuff!?!

 

[Sylock]

Paint, and anyone else:

I'm thinking for getting a 'pool' of people together to get some cherries like the above. I don't have $200 a pop to grab 4-5 of those things, HOWEVER, if we had 5 people that each put in $40 we could have bought that $200 piece above and each came away with a nice frag. I think that's the way I'm going to have to do it ...

 

[rscdragon]

If you see it on reefermaddness, Deep Blue Reefs can get the samething.

 

[canisson]

I'm in for that idea, Sylock. Sometimes, getting together for strength in numbers is the ONLY way to go!

 

[PaintGuru]

I'd be up for that. Only thing is, I would like to get things that have actual growth rates. I have no use for frags that are 1" tall and take 2 years to become 2" tall .

 

[reefwonders]

Those colonies that Deep Blue Reefs has been getting are really nice size. If you got 4 people together everyone would have a mini colony for a fraction of the price. Problem is getting 4 people to agree on the same colony. Maybe we could start a coral club like the lottery clubs they have. It'll be like haveing a swap meet every week. Just an idea.-Bob

 

[Sylock]

rscdragon, serious? I'll send Deep Blue Reefs a message / call.

I'll post a message in the group buy forum about pooling money to get cherry coral to frag after I get a hold of DBRs.

I would be interested in something like this. If someone can organize it, count me in for sure.

Rob, the only problem with the Deep Blue Reefs / Reefermadness comparison thing seems to be that Reefermadness gets to hand pick their stuff. Deep Blue Reefs just gets to order the species and hope it's a good color.

 

[reefwonders]

They may not be able to hand pick but you get to see the actual piece after shipping. Plus you're still letting someone else pic for you. That's why I have'nt gone that route yet. I'd rather deal with the LFS at least if I have a problem I talk face to face with someone.

 

[Sylock]

Yes but you don't get the cherry pieces. The people who get those are the ones that stop by and pay a little more for the really nice ones. I have yet to see really rare/fantastic stuff that you see on places like RC's SPS addicts boards at any of our LFS. I would love to be wrong though so show me .
