looking for this.

[reelsteel]

Hi everyone, it's been awhile since I posted here. I lost my colony of cyphastrea and am looking to see if anyone has any or knows where I could get some. I received my frag from a friend of a friend that had a saltwater store in Va. Beach a couple years ago, he said it was from his own personal stock that he himself got while diving off some island(not sure if it's true or not), but I've searched on the internet and haven't been able to find any. Here is a description(I have a pic somewhere, which I'll post if I find it), it had a blue almost purple background depending on the light and the polyps were a light to medium green. If you have something like that and are willing to frag, please post a pic so I could see if that's it or not. It was one of my favorite corals.

Thanks

Rocko918...that could be it. Is that the official name? I saw this but couldn't tell the colors:http://www.reeffarmers.com/limitedpurplegreencyphastrea.htm

 

Do you have any more pics of it not so close up(kinda show the way it looks from the top)? Do you have any frags for sale? Can't believe that I may have found some, I didn't think it would have been that rare of a coral. You can pm the price if you want.

 

Leishman...I like the ones you posted also, do they have a name? I really like that chalice you in the bottom of the pic.

That would appear to be the Steve Tyree LE alien eye watermelon chalice.

 

The cyphastrea appears to be - Steve Tyree LE cyphastrea decadia.

Awesome, Rocko!

 

What does one have to do to get a piece of that? Kiss your cyphastrea??

looks like there is some interest in frags of this. I cut it about a month back and have 4 frags in my frag tank. Good size frags. I will work something out with reelsteel and put one up on auction.

 

Here are 2 pics i just took.

Thanks fo the info...even with the name I can't find it. Is it that rare of a coral? Now I feel sick to my stomach that I did not frag it and give it out to fellow reefers, so I could get a piece back. It was really colorful, but didn't think twice about it being rare or impossible to find a frag of it.

 

Rocko918...I guess give me the bad news, either your not fragging it or I'll have to sell a kidney to get a tiny frag!!! lol

 

Thanks again for all the info you guys have been very helpful...now off to sell the farm to save up for some frags...

lol...I just noticed you posted while I was posting...do you guys do auctions on the website? Do you have to be a paying member to view those?

we can work something out. I have a frag saved for you. pm coming.

[rocko918]

you guys are lucky the inlaws are here so i had time to shoot some pics.

 

Here are the 3 frags i have that i will auction 1 and then work with the others who have contacted me. It is pretty rare in my eyes as i have not seen it anywhere else and have not given out any frags yet. It is a big peice in my tank and i like it. I collect things i like and it is pretty cool with the blue base green polyps.

 

I will setup the auction soon.

 

you can really see the blue base on the frags in the frag tank.

Thanks Rocko918...Can't wait to get the frag off of you. Those frag pics don't do the coral justice, that's what it looks like when the polyps are retracted, your first picture was a great shot of the coral...you must have a really nice camera to zoom in under water like that.

That is an amazing piece! Great picture.
