FS: Duncanopsammia axifuga & Favites pentagona War coral frags

joetbs · #1 09/15/2006, 12:37 PM

I had to do some trimming in my tank and have the following captive grown frags for sale. I will ship at the buyer's expense via FedEx overnight. Please PM me with any questions. Pickup welcome in the MA/NH area.

Duncanopsammia axifuga - blue/grey/yellow/green - looks very similar to Elegance coral, though is much hardier. This coral will grow fast if you feed it directly. This coral is very rare, and is only found in Australian waters. This pic was taken in March under a single 150w 6.5 k Iwasaki Spot Pendant. It gets more green under 20ks.

2x Five Polyp Frags - $500 ea
2x One-Two Polyp Frags - $125 ea

Favites pentagona - "War Coral" - This is not the Tyree one, but is nicer IMHO. Polyps are slightly larger, and the green centers sparkle like Tinkerbell. The coral is blood red with full green centers. This pic was also taken in March under the 6.5k, so it does it no justice to the actual color. This coral is absolutely INSANE under VHO actinics. It grows very thin, almost like a chalice(think echinophyllia). Grows at a decent rate.

Here's another more recent picture. It's behind the Terelabrus. Unfortunately, i used the flash to get them in the shot, so I lost a lot of background color.

5x 3/4"x1/2" Frags(approximately 2-3 corallites) - $100 ea

All frags come mounted on a Disc. Shipping will be with a corrugated styrofoam box, in multiple bags, with any necessary packs(heat/cold).

Thanks,
joe

Are you open to trade?

joetbs · #3 09/15/2006, 02:48 PM

2 Single polyps & 1 war coral are spoken for.

I will throw in a war coral with each of the 5 polyp duncs.

what's that sand in your tank? not aragonite.

Fliger · #10 09/18/2006, 11:06 AM

Hey Joe, would it be possible to get these shipped today for Tuesday pickup (I'm picking up at Fed-Ex)? I have another order coming in that day.

Thanks,

David

David, i didnt get a chance to check RC until now, i apologize. If you want me to go ahead and ship tomorrow please let me know via a PM.

I've had many requests to split the 5 polyp frags. I will wait until after Macna to frag them and post then.
