Does anyone have SKA Jackpot?

[TDEcoral]

The original colony came from me, but I had some personal stuff happen and had to sell all my corals in late 2016. I'd be interested to see what it's looking like these days and maybe get a frag at some point if someone is willing to cut me a piece. Unfortunately the local reefers that I gave frags to lost theirs.

Holy crap! They want more money for a frag than what I got for the entire colony! Is $450 the average price for a frag of this?

That’s a lot cheaper than I thought it would be from those 2

It’s become a pretty rare piece. What does ska stand for?

Wish I didn't have to sell it...
Sea King Aquariums. The owner is the one that bought the colony from me.

No kidding. It's just sad. I miss the days of trading corals with your reefing buddies. I try to keep that alive though. I've got a reefer friend that lives down the street and his tank is stocked with acro frags I've given him.

Honestly
I wouldn’t pay more than $288 for that one

JK!!!!

I wouldn't. As much as I want to get a piece of my acro back, I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money for an acro frag that I could probably count the individual polyps on.

Well.......
On an unrelated note
Does anyone know how I contact this Greg’s corals?

Looks like it was a mariculture. If things stay positive for Indonesia we may see colonies like this available again for the price of frags.

He has a site now, Greg's Corals. Prices are a little high, but I'd still recommend. Hands down the nicest frags I've ever purchased were from Greg.

It is a mariculture. It was hiding in an upper tank at a LFS I used to work at. Funny thing is, it had been in the store for a while and nobody had noticed it. The colony didn't look like much from the side, but when I turned up the blues and looked from the top down I knew it was something special.
Really hoping that Indo will open up again in the not too distant future, but I wouldn't be surprised if it never does.

No problem! Would you happen to have any pics of yours?

And people say maricultured acros are nothing special. If this wasn’t a colorful tenuis I wonder what the price would be now :) It’s cool to see it when nice random wild or Mari corals stick around like this. I hope someone gives you a piece back with a normal price tag.

I can take some pics tonight for sure!

I have the SKA Jackpot, still not able to frag just yet, but maybe in the near future.
