My Miami or Bust!!

Hey Damac, you got pm!

I say 1 or 3, but I like 1 the best.

WOW that is awesome of you Bay Corals ! Dude, you gotta go with the Blue Hornet, they really are quite sharp, trust me you will keep at least one polyp for yourself once they grow out.

I still think...Blue Hornet = Purple Hornet = Red Hornet = My Miami is going to be your quickest road.

akabryanhall · Jan 19, 2010

Normally I agree with you, but finding someone who has a purple hornet that does not have a blue hornet, or a red hornet who does not already own a purple hornet is going to be a challenge. This is how I think it will go..
Blue Hornet-->Mini Colony SPS------>Purple Hornet------->Colony LPS------>Red Hornet------->My Miami

I already have a generous offer from damac. He will trade me a mini colony of ORA Pearlberry for the zoas, and he's local. The only issue that comes with immediate trading is no growout to keep a frag of things along the way, but it helps me get to my goal faster, which I'm game for!

good job Brian, keep it up bro. you'll get there soon

You got it figured out man. I didnt even consider SPS, probably because I cant keep them to save my life.

SPS are pretty new to me as well, I have a desalwii, valida and borealis frag among some birds nests and a couple of montis. They are doing well so far, hopefully i can grow the pearlberry out quite quickly.

I am in Orlando FL, opposite side of the states lol. I appreciate any help I can get on this.

JR's Reef · Jan 24, 2010

So you have the pearlberry, 1 blue hornet and 5 colors right? I got confused

akabryanhall · Jan 24, 2010

You are correct, I am going to grow the zoas out and see what I can get for the pearlberry mini colony.

akabryanhall · Jan 24, 2010

Would like to stay local to save on shipping, but will entertain all offers.

akabryanhall · Jan 25, 2010

I suck at taking pics, this as raw format and cropped, This is the mini colony

It starts having to put my eye to the view finder and I wear glasses so when I try to focus, it doesn't work lol. Couldn't tell it was this out of focus till I cropped it.
