Pink Birdnest colony and clam 4 sale

I am selling a large pink birdsnest colony and a blue spot Squamosa.
The birdsnest is around 8" tall and 5" wide and the clam is about 8". I'm asking $70 for the coral and $80 for the clam. The reason I'm selling them is they are getting too big for my tank and I'd rather not frag up the coral. By the way the tank is a 120 and the pump is a seio 2600 for size comparison. I'd also be interested in trades of micromussa frags and acan frags. I am located just off the freeway by the airport in Milwaukee. Here are some pics.

Thanks for the offer Nick but after thinking about it more last night, I'd have to do a lot of rescaping to make enough room for the clam, so I'm not interested, sorry. It is a nice clam.

I'd like the clam, but not if I have to go to Milwaukee to get it.

Clam sold. Pink birdsnest still available. I do get down to some of the Illinois stores quite a bit in the winter time if anyone is interested in meeting.

Someone has to get up to Milwaukee and snatch up that birdsnest colony! I was up today to pick up the clam and got to see the coral. The pic doesn't do it justice at all! Well worth the drive folks!

Thanks for the clam nait002, he's huge!! I'm still warming up the water and trying to figure out where to put him. He's a lot bigger than I thought and I've had to do some slight re-aquascaping to fit him in the showcase spot he deserves

Thanks again!

Yea, I'm schedualing a pick up time to get birdsnest as my show piece. With that compliment there is nothing stopping me from buying it from him!

I sent you another PM too.

I met up with nait today to pick up the birdsnest, and it looks amazing! I still can't believe the size of it. It was nice to meet you and thanks for the advice on where to put it. Thanks again
