GraffitiSpotCorals March 17, 2019 March 17, 2019 I am curious if anyone is collecting wild or mariculture stuff right now. If you are let me know what your seeing from tonga and aussie if you are. I think both are still going but just take a little wait time to get in line. There isn't much out there since indo has been offline but there is still some cool stuff that makes me happy. I can't find any vendors that are selling colonies right now though, anyone know of any besides divers den? Seems that everyone is relying on fragments to get by for now. I am starting to collect again and am not interested in fragments from vendors, period.
BtmDweller March 17, 2019 March 17, 2019 I have a couple frags left over from the colony posted and a really nice frag of an Aussie blue and white table. Others I just picked up from a fragfest, growing out.
GraffitiSpotCorals March 17, 2019 Author March 17, 2019 Yea I will have to swing by there again and pick up some of that stuff. It really seems like not even any stores are trying to get any orders in of acropora so I figured I would see if there is anyone local I can get a hold of thats getting stuff. Options are very limited I know but there has to be a few people interested in the same stuff I am.
BtmDweller March 17, 2019 March 17, 2019 I was at the CMAS meeting. They had a meeting the other weekend and split up several Aussie colonies they ordered. $20 chunks. They do it yearly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ReefdUp March 20, 2019 March 20, 2019 I'm getting in some colonies from the west coast shipped out to me. They're still getting in wild collected pieces. I just think a lot doesn't make it out this way without a hefty premium. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
GraffitiSpotCorals March 21, 2019 Author March 21, 2019 Awesome! Did you get to pick the pieces you wanted? Yea I went ahead and ordered a box of western aussie acros since nothing else is opened and they tend to be the nicer ones from there. I am really happy at how well they came in. I think the main problem with finding them at stores or ordering from wholesalers is they have been shipped and kept in different lighting for numerous periods and by the time they get to you they are pretty pale. I like grabbing them straight from the country they come from so they take the least abuse. Much better survival rates in my experience. Glad to see someone else is buying wilds!
ReefdUp March 22, 2019 March 22, 2019 No, I wasn't able to pick what I wanted. It was more along the lines of, "hey, here's some money. Pick the nicest stuff and bargains and send them to me whenever the money is gone and/or the box is full" kind of thing. I was open to anything, so I'm not sure how many (if any) acros are actually coming. Back when this started I was reluctant to get sps due to weather, but there may be some in there now. We'll see how this works out.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
GraffitiSpotCorals March 24, 2019 Author March 24, 2019 Hm, sounds different, good luck with it and let us know how things come out.
GraffitiSpotCorals March 24, 2019 Author March 24, 2019 Here are a couple of pieces I got in my box that I like. Guessing this is a granny, has nice blue polyps poking out but not sure what color it will end up showing most.
GraffitiSpotCorals March 24, 2019 Author March 24, 2019 Nevermind can't upload them for some reason, there on r2r if anyone wants to see them.e
