Coral For Local Sale

SilverCityReef · Mar 20, 2019

So I picked these up yesterday but noticed a mucus web on one after 2 mins in my tank so I pulled them all. I dont know if anyone has vermetid snails already, doesn't mind them, or has a way to remove them, but I wont risk putting these back in my display. So, I paid $90 and would like to get my money back if at all possible. Local to Bristol County Mass only. All are very good size. Green Slimer is in fish QT with crap lights but was bright green prior.

Names I know:
- Tri-Color Acropora
- Green Slimer
- Green Torch
- Reverse Superman Porites?
- Green Pocillopora
- Red Montipora (Was told it was orange but looks red to me)
- Some Kinda Of Pavona

Sometimes the mucous is just the coral releasing mucous after being exposed to air, especially if you’re talking about the slimer. If it’s vermatids, you can easily remove them. I wouldn’t worry about the mucous if it happened immediately after being put into the tank.

This is possible. I cant find anything visible, especially on Slimer but I did break something off torch that looked like a vermetid. It could be my loss but I dont want to risk it.
