Few free starter corals

[Copingwithpods]

Hello everyone, in the spirit of this awesome reefing community I'd like to offer some corals for free to anyone that needs/wants them. Ideally they would go to beginners to help them get started with a few cool pieces or fairly new hobbyists to help them add to their growing collection. Ultimately they are up for grabs to anyone that wants them I only ask that you give the new guys first dibs on them.

For now I want to keep it pick up only but if no one in my area is able to do so I will ship them out with the recipient paying only for shipping. Whether or not that will be worth it will be up to the individual.

I am in Los Angeles CA 90023

These have been pulled off the rockwork and placed on frag plugs so they are a little upset but recovering quickly.

My parameters are
Salinity 1.0255
Alk 9.5
Cal 440
Mag 1380
Po4 0.08
No3 1-3
Ph 8.2
All under 1 AI prime


OK so here they are

A 5 head duncan

A 1.5inx1.5in echinopora that broke off the mother

A pretty good size pulsing xenia, 2 stems about 4-5in each

A nice chunky 20+polyp Pandora or maybe Sakura

Mother

I have a few more I'm fragging out including an utter chaos and purple/red people eater, montipora and some mushrooms, not 100% sure yet.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

nice! kudos to you for helping out our fellow reefers.

Wow thats some clean sand you got there, wish mine looked like that lol, but very generous of you

These two will also be freebies they just aren't ready yet.

This zoa combo (names unknown) fell in a cave and was forgotten so they are quiet weak. I'm hoping now that they are out in the light they will recover quickly.

These cloves were actually buried in the sand and might not be ready for a while. The colony they came from is doing great so I have no reason to suspect these won't recover well.

Good work! Way to take care of others.

Thank you, I take no credit for it, all goes to my CUC. In a nano with no herbivorious fish I'd argue the cuc are #1 in terms of importance.

I'd also like to add this


If you don't feel comfortable asking for a free coral I completely understand, pm me and we can keep it all private.

Man that’s an awesome looking tank. Wish my tank would cycle already because that duncan is beautiful. Thanks for being so generous. I’m new to this hobby and I am very impressed by the generosity.
