10 Piece Beginner Frags/Macro Algae

WesW · Aug 9, 2012

Are there any beginners in North Alabama that want to jump start their coral collection with some good intro corals? $50 for the macro algae and nine frags below:

5 different types of zoas
leather
xenia
green star polyps
mushroom
mangrove/chaeto

If there is any interest I'll make the frags and post pictures this weekend. Thanks!

Something like this would interest me in a few months. Meanwhile, I'll just have to enjoy looking at your pictures.

Just PM when you are ready and I'm sure I can put something together for you. I'm trying to sell two of these packs now to buy a tile saw to frag my overgrown LPS. Hopefully when you are ready I'll have the saw and be able to throw in a couple LPS frags.

I will be in needing some chaeto pretty soon. I have to take my fuge down due to aptasia outbreak. That stuff went nuts in my fuge and has taken over the chaeto as well. I am going to build a new fuge (make room for skimmer) I would like some mangrove and cheato to put in it. It's only a 10gal so i won't need much. How much would you charge $$ for a little bit.

Just save the aptasia and enter that 10g into the next nano contest you see as a "pest tank".

Maybe we can work out sharing a larger order of chaeto and meet up on the Arsenal. I don't know if I have to let my tank cycle before adding it or not.

I have some chaetomorpha if you are interested. My chaeto does not grow well in my fuge and their strands look skinny and anemic since my display tank is very lean in nutrients. They will recover well once in a tank with a higher nutrient load. I should be able to spare at least a sandwich bag full of it.

Firefightered - you can have some xenia at the same time if you'd like. I have to cut them since they are attached to large live rocks, but it's very easy to attach them to rubbles or plugs.

Thanks Tomoko!!!! I'll be in touch with you soon. I'm looking at maybe Sat?

Chaeto does not grow very well in my fuge either so it will be a really small ball. If you are just looking for chaeto and/or xenias I would definitely recommend talking to Tomoko. I think someone else offered free toadstool leather recently on these forums too. This is more for people that are interested in getting a variety of beginner corals for pretty cheap.

I will try to take better pictures this weekend but here are some of the zoa colonies. Sorry for the image quality on these... the blue lights on my tank don't play nice with the iPhone camera. If anyone thinks they want a pack I'll go ahead and frag them off so you could see the actual frags you would get.

Green Implosion - I don't have a picture yet but looks similar to CoralPedia.com :: Green Implosion

Fire and Ice - frag would be two or three polyps

Eagle Eye Zoa - probably five polyps on the frag

Unnamed Zoa #1 with green skirt, purple face, and green mouth

Similar Unnamed Zoa #2 but with an orange mouth

I would like the frags of zoas, the leather, star polyps and mushroom. No zenia,macro, or mangroves though... What would you cahrge for just the frag pack?
Thanks.
