Hey everyone, thanks again for all the replies! We are still working out the logistics of the deal I will keep everyone informed if anything changes. My brother may be getting out as well so I'll update this thread with his soft corals if things go in that direction. Thanks again, everyone has been very helpful! Matt

Wow, thanks for the huge response everyone! it's great to see that the hobby is still so popular! I have gotten enough pm's to fill my small non-member pm box. The first response was minutes after I posted with an offer to buy everything, if that falls through I will let everyone know in order of which your response was received. You will definitely hear from me shortly as I need to move this stuff quickly. Thanks again! Matt

Well I have been in the saltwater game for several years now, used to be more active in the WAMAS community, but life has gotten a bit too hectic and it's time to take a break. I am breaking down my beloved 120 gallon with sadness I am going to sell off the corals first, then fish, etc. Here is the first wave: 1- Miyagi Tort, purchased from Bendalat probably 5-6" across $60 1- ORA fuzzy Marshall Island acro 4-5" $50 1- Green Pocillipora 4-5" across w/ ORA Miami Orchid 4-5" on the same rock $50 1- True Tyree Watermelon with probably 20 eyes or so, purchased from Bendalat. Its not looking its best color right now due to my water quality, but I have a picture from its prime, should color up again quickly $100 2- Bright Green Acro, purchased on Reefcentral as a "Hulk" acro several years ago. I have 2 colonies of this, one probably 8-9" $60 one 4-5" $40 2- Large purple monti caps each one is probably 7-9" across $40 each 1- purple monster frag fully encrusted 1.5" $50 1- Pink Lemonade frag fully encrusted 1.5" $50 1-Faded pale orange sunset monti fully encrused 3-4" $40 1-Green monti cap, as big a piece as I can break off the rock $10 1-Fully encrused multiple branched ORA chips acro 3" $30 1-Soli brown with purple edge 5-6" across $50 I have other pictures, but the quality is terrible as is my camera. Pick up is over in Burke, VA 22015. Things will be added as stuff is sold. My prices could be way off as I've been out of the game a while, but I'll take any fair offers. Some of these corals are several years old. Thanks, Matt

Wow, I'm pretty sure I went to that meeting being advertised in West Springfield back in 2001...

They should be fine. I haven't even acclimated an sps coral in years, just toss them in with no losses.

Hairy = Bad Remove that thing.

That colony looks toast to me.

I'm a fulltime staff member and alumnus of the University

Any prices for the sps colonies? Thanks

The big white areas look like dead sponge, you may want to pull it off.

I had a hippo tang do the same thing.
