You would get us closer to free shipping- I'd have to check, but I may be able to hold along with @ericrodriguez - are you guys close and can figure it out?
Taking a roadtrip with @Salted tomorrow to check out a new local vendor for corals and see what we see. will post tomorrow after- price is great for the torches and QCC has a bunch of frags for under $15- some are wysiwyg- also running a sale- LMK if you are interested in getting in on a group...
Anyone ever buy from them- Couldn't resist clicking on the $15 frags on FB- free shipping on $299 and 10% off on the first order- also $50 black light torches- all very tempting- anyone want to combine an order
I've lost mine several times since I started- the last time was when I broke my ankle and could'nt bend over or carry anything- Got a new culure on ebay- check it out. I could ship, but it might be easier/ better for you taht way- let me know
There are a couple that are in the vendor forum and some that aren't- Lakesidereefing.com in Oakland, Exoticreefsofnj.com is in Saddle Brook and there is Feng's Reef in Dunellen along with Mike in Parsippany ( you can find him on Craigslist)
A local lfs would probably take the cloves- mine would. Just scrape the shrooms off the rock with a knife- the ones in crevices would be hard though. I have a shroom cage to get them to re attach
The problem most of us have is visualizing coral growth. The cloves would be fine in a large tank- other kinds of cloves don't multiply or get as big as those. I'd gladly take your shrooms if you ever want to get rid of them- maybe trade for a small yuma.
I'm old school and have the 'wall' of rock, so when something gets tossed by the hermits often can't be found again- somewhere in the back or upside down behind some rock. Other times I'll see a coral just shrivel up. I lost a bounce coral months ago and was moving some stuff around and found it...
Individual cages are fine if you have the space- I don't, so I got out the old frag rack ( a piece of acrylic with a 90 degree bend) and zip tied the mesh to it, filled the bottom with rubble and cut 3 pieces so far of leathers- brown and greeen devils' hand and a finger leather- the sinularia...
No problem, would like to get a torch and a hammer sometime- maybe next time. I'm still looking to find a big enough tank to rehome my 10" gsp rock and 100+ colony of gold tip clove polyps. Will be fragging some of my leathers too- finger, brown and green devils hand and sinularia,l just broke...
