How big is the yellow toadstool frag and what are you asking for it. I might be able to trade a frag of yellow devils hand for it.

Tree frags are medium to large, red mushrooms. yellow toadstool is also a nice size. They grow fast.

How much for the pieces and are the shrooms attached or unattached?

Mushrooms would be unattached. I also have xenias. I would sell the kenya tree, mushrooms and yellow toadstool for $75.00

Not to be rude, but that seems pretty outrageous for 3 soft coral frags.

I don't think its out rageous because I paid $20 for the first Kenya tree I got. The yellow toadstool is very nice size. You can't buy them at LFS for less than $60.00.

Would you still concider a frag trade just for the toadstool? I'm not interested in the other stuff.
I have several mushrooms, loose and attached, and a lot of Anthelia.

maybe i should sell my kenya and shroom frags for more than 5.00 a piece then:p they grow so fast and reproduce like mad so i am just happy to sell them cheap.
No, keep them at 5.00. The whole point IMO is to help out fellow reefers, and those that are just getting started. What would be the point of buying from somebody, if you are paying the same as fish store prices?
Nearly all of my pieces started out as either free frags, or very inexpensive frags. I have never spent more than $20 for any single piece of coral in my tank.

I agree with Chris. I believe one of the points of having a Marine Society is so that people in to the marine hobby can get together, share information and help each other out. It would seem to me that frag trades are common with most clubs. I dont think OMS members should be out to make money on fellow OMS members. Besides, even if you took your frags to a lfs you wouldn't be "making money."

i know what you mean and that is why I do sell them so cheap. i have a tank full, and have alot of extra frags that are taking up space. and I also figure if I sell them cheap to other reefers when the time comes that they will be fragging stuff i would want in my tank they will also give me a good deal back. also if my tank ever crashes i know where some of my frags went and most of them are willing to donate a frag back to get me started again.

You know guys that if you don't want them that's no sweat to me. A nice yellow toadstool is not cheap anywhere.

How much(and what kind) for you mushrooms Chris? What about the anthelia?

Ok Willie, nevermind. I was looking for a trade type situation. If I wanted to spend $75 bucks I would have gone down to Paridise Cove, they get most of my money anyway (lol). No hard feelings though.
I have a couple of different varieties of mushroom. Some red and white marbled, some green stripes, some red. There are loose ones here and there, if I can get to them, and then a few on rocks.
Anthelia is in abundance. It's growing on the glass, so it's easy to get to. I would say $5 to $10 for some of it, depending on how much you want. The shrooms we would just have to see what I can get to. Maybe a buck or so for each loose one? It may be easier to come by and work out a price when we know what we can get!

When's a good time to come by?
I might bring a friend with me as well if thats alright since he is trying reestablish from a tank crisis.
I believe sunday afternoon might be ok. We will be out most of the day Saturday, but I don't know my plans for Sunday yet. There is nothing going on that I know of!

i am sorry if i offended anyone by saying what i did. i didn't want to start an argument, i just wanted to add my .02. i sell my frags for 5.00 due to the fact i have so many and rather than throw them away i figure others can enjoy a decent coral for alot less than a LFS charges. i understand certain coral frags go for more but all the same. i don't see selling frags back for what i paid for the mother coral is right. i am not into this hobby to make money, but more for the enjoyment and accomplishment of having a little part of the ocean in my home. and also to meet new ppl that enjoy the hobby as much as you do. i am sorry if i started any arguments with anyone, that was not my intention.

I'm looking for some zoos, shrooms, and sps if anyone's selling? I've got some green star polyps to trade/sell too if anyone wants them. ($5).

Is it actually GREEN GSP or is it the brown variant? I just fragged my leathers and should have a piece attaching to a rock within a few days. Its a finger type leather. I will probably frag several of my mushrooms about the 1st of July if your not in any hurry.
yeah, it's actual GREEN GSP. It fluouresces really nicely under actinics. Are you in Lincoln?

I have a few extra eagle eyes (maybe a few others) I'd like to trade for some other kind of zoos if anybody's interested.
Hey everyone, I apologize, I've been out of the loop a bit lately, new job, building new house, etc.
I can bring some Anthelia to Tom's tonight, if anyone is interested.
I also have two rock, one that has half-a-dozen or so mushrooms on it, and another with half-a-dozen musrooms and about 1 or 2 dozen stalks of Anthelia on it.
The other Anthelia will be loose, because it will be scraped off of the glass.
Any interest, let me know!
Chris
