Malaysian Acros, the Real Deal

[Mark Gray]

Noooooooo way, like I can't believe Singapore too.

Well I have a very good friend that ships from Singapore. I will see if I can get ahold of him tomorrow. I know he is up now but I got to sleep and when we talk it goes on for awhile.

 

[SeaDweller]

So where do we get said Malaysian acros?

Reef lounge for one, or tristanfish...

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Did I tell you guys I loooove Sea Dwelling Creatures.....heeeee

Most of you may have heard about Malaysian coral imports by now... but may be skeptical or have heard rumors that it’s not possible.

The simple truth, Malaysia has been exporting corals for quite some time, but since Indonesia was the main source. Malaysia has been pretty much the step sister. In my experience so far. She is will no longer be. The big players are coming in strong now.

Quietly....I have been bringing in Malaysian acros since end of last year and all of this year. There are a few variations that I have never seen before, and others similar to Indonesian stock.

I can probably go on and on... but let’s get to the good stuff....

OH MY...;Wideyed cannot wait...

 

[Sailfinguy21]

so when do i get my free malaysian acropora sample from you in the mail ?

This is not new news. They have been exporting Corals for a while.
There quotas are very small that come out of Malaysia and I think most go elsewhere.


There is rumor that some Indonesia corals are illegally being sold through Malaysia which is something none of us should support. This is the stuff that gives our hobby a bad name and those against the hobby more reasons to try and shut the hobby down.

 

[Addicted2ACRO's]

They are some beautiful pieces...how can I purchase some of those pieces?

 

[Shooter6]

So when are you going to share frags aka $$$

 

[sde1500]

Wasn’t hard to find wholesale links. Can’t speak to their veracity but idk why people claim it was impossible to find. I’ve seen mention of transhipping working on setting up new sources too, for those that can’t/won’t do wholesale.

If I had Facebook I would check those out. Seems the guy I talked to about this was misinformed or just didn’t want to get cites for Malaysia. The only thing I wonder is why others are not getting these pieces? The amount of nice new stuff coming in is slim to none and I haven’t noticed any vendors with pieces from there. It just blows my mind that no one but tristianfish is putting in effort to get new stuff into the hobby. It looks like rr maybe got some posted last May from what I can tell but I haven’t noticed anything anywhere else. Although I don’t look like most of you do, has anyone seen nice new stuff anywhere else?

Vivid posted some. My assumption is a few are, as there are still some “new releases” happening. Sure could be Aussie, but likely just less talked about. If a vendor has a new awesome looking wild acro, does it really matter if it’s Aussie or Malaysian?

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Of course it matters, maybe not to some but for people who have been in the hobby for decades things get boring with no change and a place you have never had corals from defiantly makes things more interesting.

Again corals coming from there is nothing new.
Search once. A simple search shows two articles on corals coming from there since 2009...

People were rarely aware where corals came from before the shutdown in Indonesia... Exporters and LFS never really knew. It is possible you already own a coral from there.

Also there are so many lying where corals come from just to get more money.
It is possible you have a coral from there.

The only issue is limits for exports there are lite and just like Vietnam not allot of the corals come here.

I think people forget how big the hobby is in like Germany.

All of you that are sitting around spinning your wheels, trying to figure out back channels, making up stories, trying to figure out devils work or crapping on your toilet. Just stop, kiss your love ones, hug them and tell them you love them.. then breathe and eat a darn snicker.

There’s nothing scheming, nothing coming from indo, not aussie, not Cambodian, not Chinese, not Taiwan, not from the Moon.

Simply Malaysian.

A few of LFS's around me have been bringing in Malay corals. So definitely not unheard of, just not as publicized as Indo and Aussie.

I stepped away from the previous conversation because when I find myself in a group of people adamantly insisting that up is down and 2+2=5 I rarely find further discussion productive.

But I'm just dropping by to say
#1 thanks for sharing actual information. People who do what you just did are good for the hobby and society in general.
#2 Facebook? No wonder I couldnt find these!

We have to do Facebook to find coral trans shippers? Whats next, we have to play Pokemon Go to buy fish?

I sincerely hate the Internet in 2019.
