For now ;) Just wait until you have the same problem LOL

I would try to trade for store credit at my lfs or sale/trade it to local reefers if I could.

Yeah, my LFS isn't interested in Birdsnest.

Mine is small and will normally take anything I have on trade be it fresh or saltwater.

Mine is under new ownership and wants to buy some Strats but has very little budget due to, well, buying a LFS.

Your strats are amazing!

I'm considering emailing him and asking what he would require in trade for a Hydros Launch. I've got a frag set aside for him that was 15 polyps. I think it's around 25 now.

Maybe I'll shoot him an email asking about 25 Strats, a MASSIVE Birdsnest colony and 4 or 5 Joker Anemones...

That's like $3000+ worth of coral for a $500 controller.

I ended up tossing a whole pile two months ago:

This was about 8 frags that all grew together and made the frag rack fall and wouldn't hold anymore.

I will end up doing the same soon. Hopefully there's a local that would like some. If not, maybe the LFS will take it. I hate throwing healthy corals out. I'm sure we all do.

That's a positive sign. Keep shopping there.

Birdsnest, 10 strats, and two jokers. Leave room to haggle.

Yes, however, this is a LaZy's Coral Blue Zing hybrid most likely. It was purchased as RTA (Riptide) Hidden Forest Birdsnest but it's not a normal variety. It's a thick branched version of a Bird of Paradise but with blue and purple polyps.

I don't have a frag of 10 Strats. Plus, he already gave me $500 in free fish, plants, and corals for a credit that the previous owner gave me for Strats and then took the Strats when they sold him the store. I kinda feel bad for him. He's done a ton to turn the store around and he's been super helpful.

That takes up too much precious real estate. Break it into several smaller colonies and give them away at your next club meeting. Make some newbie reefers' days.

If @felda001 had his tank setup he'd be getting a chunk.

@Tahoe61 doesn't know it yet but there might be a chunk headed to Tucson (with a couple of Strats) in a couple of weeks.

If I ever make it over to Gilbert and @tharbin is available to meet up for a SHU his might have a chunk inside as well.

Thanks for the tip. No reactor though so I assume can’t use it for that.

 

[tharbin]

That's a Birdsnest.

I've never seen one like that. My first thought was no way but when I zoomed in sure enough, it's a birdnest but with the thickest branches I've ever seen. I'm particularly good at killing birdsnest, but then again I've only grown the thin-branched Fiji varieties and they always grow like crazy for months and then crash.

Yeah, this one's crashed several times - crashed to the floor of the tank and had to be reset on its little perch.

Hey Tim I’ll trade some Strats for a slightly used cat jk
