I’ve got another batch of easy starter soft corals ready for sale. These are not fancy high end corals, just an affordable way to add a bunch of color and motion to your tank.
I’m selling any 6 corals for $60 (shipped) or any 12 for $100 (shipped). Just pick any 6 or 12 corals from this list and message me with your list. I take payment by Paypal, and can ship anytime in the next couple weeks at your convenience.
Because these are robust soft corals I am shipping priority mail USPS (~2-3 days). If you prefer, I am happy to ship overnight for additional shipping costs. (Message me and we can figure out the additional cost for your address) .
Corals will be shipped in insulated packaging with heat packs to keep them warm and happy on the way. I’ll refund the cost of any corals that don’t make it, if something goes wrong. (As usual, I cannot refund the cost of shipping in those cases, only the DOA animals themselves).
Here are the images – in some cases I include pics of the colony so you can see what it’ll grow into.
and a key with some names:
A. Zoanthids, 'eagle eyes'. An old standby, this grows like a weed. Develops bright colors in high light.
B. Zoanthids, 'peanut butter cups'. Fast growing, unassuming by day but shows bright orange mouths under blue lights.
C. Zoanthids, 'gobstoppers'. Eye catching colors from 10 feet away.
D. Zoanthids, 'armor of god'. A true bright red.
E. Zoanthids, 'pink & gold'. In high light, develops bright yellow and gold colors.
F. Zoanthids, 'mohawk'. Pink speckles fading to a yellow mouth. Needs high light for best colors.
G. Zoanthids, 'mint chocolate chip'. A nice grassy green, with fine lines radiating from the mouth.
H. Zoanthids, 'micro kiwis'. TINY polyps, almost as yellow as King Midas under the blue lights.
I. Zoanthids, ‘radioactive dragon eyes’. Bright colors, green center with a yellow skirt.
J. Zoanthids, 'flame skirt'. Super bright orange skirt with a bright yellow mouth and white speckles. For someone reason I can’t get photos to do this one justice.
K. Palythoas, bright green. Super bright under blue lights.
L. Palythoas, teal. No special fluorescence but a cool teal blue under white lights.
M. Palythoas, white-faced. Initially this wild Paly looked like nothing special but turned out to show cool white markings on the face if grown under high light.
N. Pulsing Xenia. Love it, hate it, this strain pulses constantly and grows as fast as you expect.
O. Tubipora, light green. Highly underrated coral. The soft coral that thinks it’s a hard coral. Fast growing but does not spread.
P. Green star polyps, branching. The brightest green I’ve seen in any coral, hands down. Fast growing, I suggest confining it to a rock island of its own. A branching variety.
Q. Mushroom, green striped. Does well in low light.
R. Mushroom, blue spotted. Likes moderate light to develop the bright blue spots.
S. Mushroom, red spotted. Likes moderate to high light develop the bright red and cyan spots. Super fast growing.
T. Mushroom, green hairy. Very bright green, likes to spread.
U. Kenya tree. Fast growing, no special color but adds a lot of motion as it sways in the current.
V. Neon green sinularia. Almost as bright green as GSP, a must have for any soft coral tank.
