I have a source for some great priced acros. I will be getting between 10-15 colonies and am looking for 2 more people to split with. Currently Angel and I are interested. Pricing will be around $100 for each person. Colonies are all from Bali and are decent sized. I am picking the species, so I am getting mostly exotic ones. You will be getting small colonies, not frags. Shipping will be an additional $10-15 total. I am trying to get some stags, some efflos, and some deepwaters for a good variety. Also, each person will be getting 3 or 4 random colonies of zoanthids.

I would like to get this as soon as possible, so please post if you are interested. I will probably have to order delivered in 2-3 weeks.

Ray, I'm not going to see them before I get them, but it is a reliable source. It should be an assortment as I said. PM me for details.

So basically it is 2-3 colonies per person and some different zoos ? When will you know how many corals you are getting if 4 people join the GB ? How many people do you want in the GB ? Like I wouldn't want anything green If I get in. Who gets what out of the buy(efflo,stag,tort,ect)? When do want the money by ? Are you fragging everything and everyone gets a piece ? Are you getting standard brown,green zoos or blues and oranges and reds ? Are we allowed any requests ? There are alot of questions that I have.

Kasei, I ordered 15 acros. We should get most of them. Basically you are getting the acros plus the zoos. Zoos are random, like a grab bag. They will be full colonies as well. Some of the acros I chose are Efflo, Suharsonoi, Simplex, Loripes, Horrida. When they arrive, we will split them into 4.

I will know exactly which we are getting when the order is ready to ship out, which should be in 2 weeks or so. Colors should be a variety, as well as type. I don't want a large group buy, since then we'd only be getting frags.

Do you still need anyone for the buy and how much will the total be and when do you want the money ?

Thanks,

Kasei

I still need 2 people. Corals will be delivered in about 2 weeks. I will collect money the day the corals are arriving and then come back with the corals. We can probably all go together to pick them up. The total will probably be around $100 before shipping. I'm still figuring out shipping costs. Shipping this many colonies gets expensive. My original quote of $15-20 each is off. It'll probably be more like $30-40, but for the amount of stuff we'd be getting it's worth it. If you want in please PM me with your number and we'll talk on the phone.

OK, i need one or two more people, since 1 person bailed and another I haven't heard back from. This is going to be arriving next monday the 2nd and will be fragged either in manhattan or at my place in rockland in the afternoon. I have a spare 55 all set up for fragging. We will be getting 15+ colonies, plus the zoos.

Here is a list of what is expected(a= acro, m=monti): A. humilis, A. efflorescens, A. cerealis, A. hyacinthus, A. millepora, A. simplex, A. horrida, A. tenuis, A. deswalii, A. Secale, Hydnophora Microconos(plating), M. Foliosa, M. Aquiteberculata, M. Verrucosa, M. Confusa.

Please PM/call me if you are interested. Again, it will come to about $140-160 with shipping. We are getting these direct. You will be walking away with small colonies, not tiny frags. 845-270-0677.
