I have had the WWC unreleased coral for maybe a couple of months. I rarely buy corals without having some name tied to it so I can always have a reference of what the coral is suppose to look like. The polyp color stood out to me so much when I looked at the colony I had to buy it. The polyp color looked gold to me and I never seen anything like it. After almost killing it at the start, it's almost back to what their colony looked like.

The original frag was about twice this size but I cut it in half a week ago to see what it would do under radions.

Full daylight, no filters.

Very nice! Looks Merlin-esque.

 

[bubbaque]

This is that coral I mentioned in your thread that I thought looked very similar to the Merlin.

 

[Bps619]

Very impressive list. What's next on the other list?

 

[bubbaque]

I am running out of stuff I would like to have. I would like to get the Merlin's staff to see if it's the same as the WWC one I just posted.

 

[Fudsey]

That is an impressive list ! !

 

[BigJohnny]

@farmerty talked me into it, lol.

lol. Well maybe now I can put my tank up for the 365 tank badge or whatever it is.



Paletta pink is on the left (with no pink) and Sexy corals orange passion on the right.

He made it himself. His burrow for the longest time was behind the star polyps on the right and I could barely see him. The spot he is in now he has been there for about a year.

Did you get that paletta pink tip from Adam? Mine grows slow and has no pink too lol

Bro can I see your bahama mama?

 

[FarmerTy]

Bro can I see your bahama mama?

Don't let him call your wife that Bubba! Only you call her that! [emoji23]

 

[bubbaque]

The original frag is still mediocre but the encrusting growth is nice. I am ready for this thing to pop out a branch so I can see what it will really look like.

Mines the same but lost some color in the lighting change. Hasn't put a single branch out! Grrrrrr!

I lost mine like 2 month back [emoji22]. Such a nice piece

 

[bubbaque]

Well my WWC unnamed frag is no longer unnamed, it is the WWC Allstar. Someone said they seen it at macna this year for $900 a frag, so I reached out to WWC to confirm it's the same and they did.

 

[x2uranium]

Someone said they seen it at macna this year for $900 a frag,

out...….…………………………………………………………………..chhhhh.
who in their mind would pay 900 for a frag

 

[bubbaque]

It's pretty dang pricey that's for sure. I didn't pay that much but it was still probably top 5 of the most I have paid for a coral and it wasn't even named yet. When I was there he told me "You will never see it again for the price I am offering you now". I think he gave me a good deal as I was buying other high end stuff.

 

[declanisadog]

It's like that TSA Starscream. When they first released it it was selling on their auction site for $90 a frag. Now its five times that...

supply and demand. We know the supply has increased, but so has the demand. If bubba wanted 1500 for that piece of his I’m sure someone would buy it. Have to remember, there are people out there with stupid $.

 

[x2uranium]

Hey I realize I’m not here to debate or anything. But I did almost pass out after reading that lol.
Edit.. when I buy frags off people they have a hard time getting the money out of my hand... they need to rip it away lol

I've accidentally walked out of someone's front door without paying them for corals before...

 

[Bps619]

As they say....You gotta pay to play
