absolutley fish rare green leather - Page 2

Rich got that right. Rare just means that you pay alot of money for it. I think just be patient and check the sale and trade forums and getting it from a fellow reefer. Saves you money and it saves the reefs buying it as frags. I remember a while back orange recordias was the hottest thing going for insane prices. Now many people have them for cheap even trading them for colorful zoos.

200 - 500 ..! Way over what I would pay for it.

I certainly agree with Rich. I've see the word rare used to often. Mostly associated with jacking the price up as much as possible.

Well it looks like I'll continue to wait. No big deal. I'll get a new clam instead.

hint hint?..lol Im guessing this is also the train of thought of absolutely fish.

BTW the ebay link's coral is not the one I think being discussed, its a neon green sinularia or nepthea, Im guessing its more of a nepthea.

i know there are a lot of thinks being called rare but unlike those other thing this coral is 99% extinic in the wild and what little is left can not be taken. bob fenner a few years ago hwen he was at absolutely fsh said that there where only 2 know colonies in captivity the one at the store and one in some public aquarium on the out west so be careful that the people saying they have it for sale have the real thing of somthing close to it.

Post a picture of what you have, you said you where going to.

Thanks, I'll keep and eye on it.

Sorry to get ethical and all but precisely because the reason that it is 99% extinct in the wild we should not be jacking prices to the point of obscurity.

We should be cultivating it and getting colonies going all over the place. So that future generations can enjoy it and maybe help recover the wild population.

Heck if I get my hands on it and get it to grow good. I'll make it available to anyone who wants it for free and flood the market.

Well enough on the subject. Thanks for your reply and best of luck.

I'm still interested in seeing a picture and comparing it to what I have and also what is on Atlantis Aquairum web site.

I'm still waiting for mine to start and drop off frags.

drunkfish13 · 07-26-2005, 04:53 PM

i will post a picture to night my peice is still small so it looks a little different from what is at absolutely fish. i know mine is the real thing because i work there and got it from there. it is a shame that rare things are expensive but that is how this world works.
