My New Baby

[MarLooney]

here's a pic of my newest coral.

[MarLooney]

here's pics of the frags i made of my own colony. that's how i was able to get a hold of the new one. i should be sending out two frags today.

[MarLooney]

and another frag... you can see they're slightly different from the new one. mine have much more green striping.

[MarLooney]

here's an older frag. it's already fully healed and growing new polyps. this one i'm sending out today.

[MFR]

sign me up for a frag when the time comes. Also, a chalice frag...

nice teeth

[MarLooney]

MFR you know those frags sell for $150-$200 right? i'm sorry to say i've got a waiting list already and it'll be a while before i have more frags. on a good note, i've got the challice frags ready for ya already. they're sitting in my prop tank. when would you like to come by?

HAHA... teeth... sorta looks like it. they do eat like they got teeth though. next to sun corals they eat more than any other coral i've seen.

[MFR]

150-$250? LOL if you pay retail or don't know how to look!!! :D

Besides w/ friends like you...., he he

Chalice... i will try to make it over soon , I am slammed with trials right now.....

where do you look? i'd like to know somewhere where it's cheaper. just lemme know when you wanna pick up a challice frag.

I thought it was all about the corals and not the money.







I must've been wrong.

[MarLooney]

charles you're still right. 4 acan frags. retail = $750. know how much i'm making off of them? $50... which i lose on shipping the other frags. 3 out of 4 of my frags went to trades. the fourth frag sold for $200 which never even sees me. it goes straight to someone in his area to pay for more corals. like i said... if you know a place cheaper lemme know. i'm not going to give away corals worth so much, but atleast i'm spreading them. i'd like to spread them locally. i even made trade offers to the two other members of this board that have shown their acans, but neither of them were willing to frag. so, to the eastcoast they go. oh, and about the whole money thing. i don't got a job. shoot, money's tight. i needa get one though if i'm ever gonna upgrade to a larger tank.

[chin_monster]

If I told you where I bought them, I'd have to kill you.

[MarLooney]

HAHA... sounds like me. so you got one? any info atleast (size, color, species)? don't be shy. show us a pic. post it under the "My New Baby" thread. :D

[MarLooney]

here's that first one open & in the prop tank.

[MarLooney]

JK, the red & grey 4-polyped acan frag on the right does indeed belong to the CAL alumni... i should be fragging the middle acan soon.
