$10 I can pick it up right now (just kidding), unless that price is cool with you......:Up_to_som hahaha

 

[skimmerman100]

im not planning to sell it, i just want to know what is the true value because i was told by the person that gave this coral to me that this is a very rare coral. he told me that "these cannot be found in the wild."
i dont know how true that is but he sounded convincing. he said somethig about el nino destroying the reefs. this is what he said.

here is another pic of the ones we keep...

They are very green in our aquariums. Very pretty and yes word is that they are very rare in the wild. We have several colonies.

For a coral that is very rare or extinct it is actually available from quite a few places or people. There are a number of different ones that are passed off as the extinct Palau Nepthea,so it's very hard to tell if you actually have a piece of one or some thing very similar. Either way it usually has a very glowing green look to it.

I dont know if there is another name for that, but ive heard thats called a sarcophyton??? anyone??? I know Sal from Nyaquaria had one, smaller but very nice and would not part with it...!!! Ive been trying to find one myself...:wink1:

If you are not planning on selling what's the point in it's worth? Not flaming you just curious. I would say it's priceless then.

Hahah, Ok nevermind than, but i think its still rare bc that one specifically blooms green....seen it in person, and I believe that there was one up for grabs at the frag swap but never heard it go up for auction....:headache:

i have 1

It would definately have to be glowing green. If it looks sorta green but not really glowing, then it might be more of a sinularia or green finger leather.
