Tyree true Purple Monster colony for sale...

[Maximus]

Well, I am slowly phasing out my acros as I am becoming an anemone/lps tank only. This is my crown jewel in my collection. This colony has been in captivity for over 7-8 years and has been fragged numerous times. I hate to see it go but I fear that the anemones will end up killing it once I release them into my main tank. The colony is roughly 4"x3" and has 12-15 branches. I would rather not frag it and just sell it as a whole colony. It is deep purple in color and belongs in a tank that can do it justice. I am asking $800+shipping via Fedex Priority. I would prefer to sell it locally (Bay Area, CA) if at all possible so local buyers will get priority. Thanks.

I live near Monterey but can meet up near San Jose or Fremont.

[Maximus]

Do you have any pictures from couple of years ago of this colony? Sorry, but it looks like maricultured piece that few of my LFS carries. GLWS anyway.

 

[Maximus]

Are you accusing me of lying about my purple monster? I will not justify my track record with you. Please do a search on here and at reefcentral under my username, Maximus. I will not stoop down to your level.

 

[Maximus]

The only reason I am posting this pic is to satisfy the buyer of this coral. I have no reason why people come on ads in order to sabotage a potential sale. You could have sent a pm and asked me privately about your accusations. I suppose your goal was to undermine my sale.

 

[Maximus]

Let me guess, are you going to say that the pic I just posted above is not the same colony that was for sale? Rest assured it is. Like I mentioned in the original post, this colony has been fragged numerous times. Any more questions? If not, mods, will you kindly close this post? Thank you.

 

[M&M]

No it truly wasn't, you did satisfied my curiosity and apologize if you took it as an sabotage. There is interest on out local forum to buy your coral as a group buy, just wanted to see picture from before. Again sorry , did not mean to accuse you of lying, never used this word.

 

[Maximus]

You never used the word, however, it could easily have been inferred from your post. I'm sorry if I came off a little strong as well. Take care and I'm sorry if I accused you of it.

I really try to be as clear and transparent in all my sales. I try to post pics of corals outside the water so potential buyers can see the true color of the coral. Pretty hard to photoshop a coral out of water. Anyways, I'm sorry if I went off. I'm usually a pretty low keyed guy

No problem..Thanks and that's a nice colony..

Not that it matter any more but I have seen this colony grow over the years from a frag to colony.
I have one like it and it is a super slow grower.
Besides that I don't think and almost positive you can find them maricultured.
What is around is still grown from the original colony from Tyree.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner as I would pay you $1000 for it.
