Welcome to R2R. You will like it here. I spend more time on here than on any of the other forums. Post some of those zoas Eric.

hey eric, nice to see you here also :)

 

[ca2or]

I will be spending some more time here as well. I like the amount of members that are here as sometimes you need help fast and PNW will be empty.

Just figured out the whole avatar thing again.

Impressive that is one giant Duncan colony

 

[ca2or]

Thanks. That would have to be favorite coral in my tank. I have been looking to sell a bit of it but no one seems to make an offer. I have listed them for 40 heads $400. They are the jumbo or fat head duncan's. What you see right there is 2 colonies bottom one has 40 + and the top has 60+

How is the humahuma's behavior in your reef?

Had no issues thus far....but I over feed my tank.

That is a very competitive price for duncans maybe you should try slightly smaller frags to sell them.

because of the way they grew I can't. Smallest frag is 40+. I wasn't even counting the "+". I already know I will most likely never sell a colony....gotta wait for it to grow so I can get smaller amounts I guess.
