Coral group buy??

Now that the snail order is complete, do you guys ever do coral group orders? I am looking to add some sps frags and maybe a clam. Do you guys order sps frags from online sites?

Depends on where you're ordering from...

The problem with doing Coral group orders is that most people like to buy WYSIWYG corals, and by the time that a group order can be purchased, that one is no longer available...

But if you'd like to try, I'm all for it...

I was think about a Dr. Fosters LA order but I am open to suggestions. Maybe I should ask you guys if you have the frags I am looking for first?

Tomorrow's meeting might be a good place to ask.

Are you planning to come? huh.

That would probably be the best place to do a group coral order from...

What frags are you looking for???

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Nash Frag swap is only 2 months away...

No I can't make the meeting. I wish I could. My son has a football AND basketball tournament this weekend. After this weekend football will be over so that will free up some time. My wife and I look forward to attending a meeting we just have to many irons in the fire. Some of the frags I am looking for (I am not good with the names just yet)
Ora blue tort
Ora pink birdnest (I have seen a few different types, I want the thin branch darker pink one.)
Blue Hoek
Pink milli
Bali tri-color
Ponape birdsnest

I'm sure you could pick up the birdsnests, tort and tricolor at the Nashville swap...

Got the tort and an outstanding blue-tipped pink mille, plus a couple of others... The hoek is hard to keep the color on, IME. Birdsnests can be finicky as well.

Would you like to sell me a frag of each? I am in no rush.

Come by anytime and look the tank over. I'd be more than happy to. You can PM me but should be able to email me. If not, just post and I'll post my contact info.

SPS frags typically $15-$25, except for some of the higher-end LE, like pink lemonade, sunset monti, Leng Sy cap, PM, etc.

When is a good time for me to come by and buy some frags? If you have some pictures I could tell you what I want so you could mount them? I PM'd you but had technical difficulties.

Don't PM, email. I'm "banned" from PM, long story. I can't update my profile either.

If I could get to it I would. Haven't tried really hard since it grows so slowly and has just started taking off for me.

Good eye, that is the rose mille, but I don't think it's marked as such anywhere. $25 is the usual price for the ORA tort, but I'll make it an even $50 for all 3. P/U probably best on Sunday or later on Saturday as tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Some kid hit me this afternoon and the adjuster is susposed to come over, so I'm down a vehicle.
