It is a huge colony, it breaks down to $40 a head. But you have to add in shipping.

it is tough for guys over in States to get hold of Acans at a sane price....

I buy my acans...near palm size at US$40 max over here. Maybe that's the reason why sometimes our local LFS refuses to sell it to us and chose to ship it over to you guys


here's a piece I bought at the price stated...still have quite a lot of polyps after I fragged it into 3 pieces




Hopefully....... there is enough aquacultured ones in the future so more reefers over your side can get these corals at a cheaper rate

I dont think that is possible ....unmarked parcels are not going to make it real far nowadays.....

going thru LFS..its the same...you are going to end up paying $40US per polyp instead of the whole colony

Nice to see that you don't care if your brother/friends go to jail for a freakin coral. If anyone is going to take the risk get some balls and do it yourself. Yeesh!

sschafer-that's nice

I was just joshing about the mail thing and here we go with the public posts of premeditation to poach coral. You guys need to exercise some sense, if you are going to skirt the law don't announce it in a public forum, do it in pm's or better yet emails. It's bad enough to be doing it, but it's even worse to be sloppy. Remember, in america it "can and will be used against you in a court of law"

lol. yeah, i think you would reallllly have to be an idiot to break the law publically. though it would be tempting if deepblue said he could send some out! lol. it would take some willpower to say no!
