H@rry's Frags for the swap

[H@rry]

Here's what I'll be bringing to the swap. I have several of most of these but I only have a few of several. If you see anything you like and want me to hold for you let me know.
All frags are healthy and free of AEFW, red bugs, nudis, flatworms, reef cooties, etc.

1. Tinker Bell Acropora - Thinly branching acro with baby blue tips - fast grower - 1.5 - 1.75 inch mounted - $10

2. Montipora spongodes - Neon green lobes. Fast grower. Easy to care for. - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - $20

3. Alabama Blue Tort - Acropora tortuosa - Blue branches with green corallites becoming deep blue at the tips. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $30

4. Pink Lace Bird's Nest - Hot pink thin branches that are tapered to a point - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - $10

5. Rainbow Warrier - Amber body with shades of pink, blue and purple on the tips. Dense growth pattern that benefits from good lighting. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $40

6. Orangade Montipora capricornis - Fast grower. Grows in a scrolling pattern. Bright orange color - 2 - 2.5 inch mounted - $10

7. Ponape Bird Nest - Creamy yellow base with bright pink/purple sharply pointed tips. This one is a show stopper and seems to attain better colors with less light than others. A good choice for T5s. - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - $20

8. ORA Hawkins Blue Echinata - The ORA Hawkin’s Blue Echinata exhibits rounded branching growth patterns. This delicate ORA coral displays exquisite sapphire blue polyps. ORA named this coral after Robert Hawkins, a facility manager, who acquired this coral from Germany back in 2006. The Hawkin’s Blue prefers strong lighting provided by Metal Halides and will thrive with strong variable flow. As with most SPS, stable levels of calcium level (400-450) and dKH (8-12 ) should be maintained. - 1 inch mounted - $35

9. Robin Egg - Aqua Blue/Green tips. Compact growth pattern with many branches - 1.5 - 1.75 inch mounted - $10

10. Alabama Grape Montipora - Flat scrolling leaves - fast grower - 2.5 - 3 inch mounted - $25

11. Orange Montipora digitata - Bright orange color - under some lighting conditions tend to go toward the pink side - fast grower - easy to keep - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $10

12. Olive Garden Montipora - Scrolling growth pattern. Subtle brown to deep olive green with tiny purple polyps that really catch your eye. Glows an olive green under actinics. - 1.25 - 1.75 inch mounted - $10

13. Purple Smoke Montipora capricornis - Very deep purple - 1 inch mounted - $15

14. Tyree Montipora setosa - This will grow in a combination of forms. The same specimen will often encrust, plate, and branch. Depending on lighting, the color may vary from orange to red to pink.- 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $50

15. Shady Lady Montipora capricornis - This one is a light olive color with slightly purple rim under Halides and glows green under Actinics - 2 - 2.5 inch mounted - $10

16. Valentine Pocillipora damicornis - Fine delicate growth pattern, colonies are compact clumps - tips turn pink under 10K halides - 2.5 - 3 inch mounted - $10

17. Purple Rim Montipora capricornis - Olive Green/Grey with purple rim - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - $10

18. Snipersps Pink selago - Pinkish body color with contrasting corallites - 1.5 inch mounted - $45

19. Montipora palawanensis - Very bright green with tiny blue polyps under VHO, and 10 or 20K MH. Slow growth rate as a frag, but moderate growth rate when colony is developed. Much thicker laminar plates than Montiporas capricornis. Grows in a near perfectly circular bowl colony when mature. Originally from Warren G, I got it from Greg Hiller in Boston in 2003. I understand Steve Tyree got his from the Boston area in 2004 so I suspect this came from the same piece. - 1.5 - 1.75 inch - $10

20. Greensleeves Montipora digitata - Brilliant green color - fast grower - 2 inch mounted - $10

21. Grape Sherbet Acropora - Slow steady grower with bright purple tips. Forms a table as it matures - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $10

22. Snipersps loisettae - This piece is not in very wide distribution because Hugo did not distribute many frags before his tank crash. Very similar to the ultimate stag exhibiting a turquoise body with green corallites under optimum conditions. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $25

23. ATL Meteor Shower Cyphastrea - Green Base with Orange/Red eyes. The base tends to be either blue or green (or shades of each) depending on the light. For best color keep it out of the brightest light. - 1.25 - 1.5 inch chunck - $30

24. Pink divaricata - Thick tabling growth pattern. Beautiful pink branches under higher lighting. - 1 inch mounted - $45

25. Tyree Montipora Sunset - Brilliant intense orange base with very large polyps that are colored bright fluorescent green. When placed in high light the green polyps don’t extend enough to cover up the base and it appears orange. In lower light the polyps extend to cover up the base and it appears green. I’m showing pictures of two pieces in different lighting - .75 - 1 inch mounted - $40

26. Bottle Rocket - Under intense lighting this prostrata is, IMO, one of the more incredible corals out there. It looks identical to the Paletta Prostrata. Needs a lot of light to maintain this color. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $45

27. Peach Daquiri Acropora millepora - Long fuzzy waving peach/rose colored polyps - 1 inch mounted - $20

28. Ruby Ridge - Beautiful pink/red millepora that grows in a tabling pattern - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $45

29. Tyree Pink Lemonade - An exotic coral with brilliantly colored pink polyps that extend during the day. The main branch stems are colored bright lime green. One of the tentacles in each polyp will super extend and this gives a hairy pink appearance. Also has some purplish/blue pigments that can appear in the base or on branches. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $40

30. Gold Ruffle Tubinaria - The ruffled edges will be yellow, gold, or orange depending on the light. The leaves are fairly thick although this is not a slow grower. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $40

31. Purple austere - Blue/purple branches with tiny blue polyps. Very heavy clumping growth pattern with short branches - 1 - 1.5 inch mounted - $45

32. Blue Ridge - The name comes from the light blue skeleton that is under the brown flesh. The polyps give the coral a fuzzy white appearance when extended - 1.25 - 1.5 inch mounted - $10

33. Matchstick Anacropora puertogalerae - Branches are compact and tapering to a point. Corallites are widely spaced. Pale brown with white branch tips. Very fine and delicate branching species that grows quickly even under moderate lighting - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - $10

34. ORA Pearlberry - Delicate branches with a pearl background, purple and blue tips as well as bright shades of green. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $35

35. Wild Blue Tort - This one has very heavy thick branches - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $45

36. Hollywood Stunner Chalice - Very thin and fast growing for a Chalice. Green eyes with a yellow dot in the center. - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - 5 - 7 eyes - $10

37. Aussie carduus - Light green branches with pastel blue tips. Very dense growth pattern that will table out. - 1 - 1.25 inch mounted - $45

38. Yellowtail Porites - Fuzzy polyps give it a velvety appearance. For best color give this one plenty of light and flow. Tends to encrust well before it begins to grow upright. - 1.75 - 2 inch mounted - $10

39. Tyree Purple Monster - There are a few “Purple Monster look-alikes” in circulation that claim to be the original. I was fortunate enough to obtain a colony from a reefer who was leaving the hobby and has been collecting for more years than many have been in the hobby. I respect him and trust him to accurately identify it. It was originally imported back in 1995 from the Solomons. It was a very unique and distinctive coral having a Christmas tree form composed of smooth thick branches. This coral was placed within Steve Tyree's 180 gallon reef. It was featured in an MFM article way back in 1996. The name was coined by Steve Shvetstoff while he was living in the Oakland area of California. Those of you unfamiliar with this coral can see its web page at Steve Tyree - The Purple Monster Coral - 1 inch mounted - $95

40. Delta Dawn - Branches have a yellow/orange base color with a hint of pink on the growing tips. The polyps appear as tiny dark freckles - 1 inch mounted - $45

Thanx for looking - See you there!

I have been admiring your coral on your website, looking forward to seeing it in person and taking some home.

If the 300 was only healthy enough for SPS I would stock up again with Harrys Frags.

It's almost all dead (

 

[GR808]

Whoa, what happened! Is that from the heat issue you had before?

Thanks unfortunately all but two are dead. We will rebuild.

I think it is a whole laundry list of things heat neglect and bio pellets.

Hate to hear that, Mike. I was wondering if you were joking, but I guess not...
