Hey all! I picked up painting coral skeletons and now I want to share it with all of you!
It sucks when LPS or SPS colonies die and you throw them away... but I want to bring the beauty of an animal building a skeleton back!
Each piece is custom made. The customer and I will talk about which skeleton they want and how they want it to be painted.
Each skeleton with come with a handcraft wooden base. (Toasted, stained, and covered in a furniture varnish)
Prices:$50-$60 +shipping depending on size/complexity
Please contact me for any questions!

P.S I'm trying to raise money to build a koi pond for my grandparents as a way of thanks for all the years they've helped out my family!

Here are some examples of pieces I have made:

I think this is a really cool idea! Besides looking great under as art, I can definitely see some hobbyists using this opportunity to commemorate their favorite pieces in memoriam.

Thank you my guy! That was part of what I envisioned. It's just crazy to think about how such a small organism can build such a skyscraper!

They look great! Makes me wish I had kept mine. I think this is going to fit right in with the FOWLR crowd. They look quite real and would add great color. How does the medium you r using hold up in saltwater?

not meant to be put in the tank! :p Most pieces I've made for people they put it next to their tank. Pops under blues
