[grisha]

Those Rose Marine World ones look terrible compared to the ORA ones. No color to any of the ones I saw up for auction.

 

[bryan]

I also think with the ORA, besides color, you're getting true CR stock...I believe Roes are fresh harvested wilds. I have never had a Duncan, so not sure if that means anything in their world

Doubtful. I have heard a few are sneaking in through 3rd party shipping. Going from Aussie land to somewhere else, then to the US. That wont last long.

 

[grisha]

I hope they don't get common, cause then I won't want one... I'm just a collector junky and want one cause they are rare... :lol:

i second this. :cheers:

If they are comming from Australia-someones gonna get busted soon. Im bidding on those duncans on ebay, they look really nice-but I am really tempted to get one of those rhyzos from rose...thats just plain cheap...uh cheap for a rhyzo I mean haha

 

[Chris2222000]

I have an order coming in from him next week, so I will keep you posted on what they hopefully transform into...

How hardy are the rhyzos and how well do they reproduce? Also - they eat fish don't they?

I just saw a 20+ colony of duncans at a local LFS that i have never been to.

And your guessing how much was it???...............It was listed as 99$....i know right?

So i asked the guy how much it realy was and he says 99$. I'm like holy ****. Its on hold for me due to not enough cash in my wallet.....

I plan on picking it up in a week or so....

You better grab it before his boss lets him know its $99 a polyp, not $99 for the whole coral. Great snag if you get it.

I was actually talking to the owner of the store when i was given the price......

Steve

He definitely doesn't know what he has then. No way he got it for cheaper than that. Bet he has it mixed up on the price sheet. Does he know what he has is a Duncan colony?

 

[fishes2889]

The owner is pretty much clueless on everything in that store. I dont want to be racist but its a asian guy who cant speak english(barely) and prices his stuff from an 150$ Acro to a 30+ poylp nice colony of zoo's for 15$.

He had them priced just as an "LPS colony 99$".

Steve

 

[Zeppelin]

You better grab it before he finds out what he has then. I hate to see people lose money, as he will when he figures out what he paid for that coral, but an lfs should have a clue what they are selling too. Youre sure its a Duncan and not a pagoda cup?

 

[fishes2889]

No i know its a duncan, i saw your duncan frags and it is exactly the same.

I dont think he lost much on this just because the wholesaler he goes down to in Tampa is so big, many times when me and my boss go down there, many things are underpriced and overpriced.....

Steve :color:
