Proteus 02-24-2013 07:55 PM

Grapes of wrath and wow factor from reeffarmers would be cool but unlikely lol

claymax 02-24-2013 08:53 PM

He has what he CALLS pearlberry and wolverine but they arent the same acro's as the ORA pearlberry and the reefreaft wolverine.

Wolverine has yet to be captive grown by anyone yet.....to me that is what I wait for.

Proteus 02-24-2013 09:45 PM

Sorry but I don't put faith in burc

I found two stores in Ontario that have wolverine. I would like to see if the color changes in captivity as the pics are all the reef raft pic

claymax 02-24-2013 10:06 PM

addicted2reef's 02-25-2013 05:33 AM

reeffarmers
 
is this coral site canadian (reef farmers) and what are the best sites to order rare coral from

mrhasan 02-25-2013 05:57 AM

As usual I did goggle the SPS to find out how things look and wolverine really got my eyes on. I searched for the reefraft's wolverine and came up with this one:

And since a previous post said Burc got it, so I emailed him for a pic and this is what his wolvs look like:

http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/...ps91893ee5.jpg

Since I am no SPS guy and reefermadness said they are not the same, I was wondering how to distinguish between the real and the so called fake one. Confuses me. Would appreciate someone explaining it to me :)

Jeff000 02-25-2013 12:58 PM

How does one order from reef raft?

Proteus 02-25-2013 01:23 PM

Getting ahold of jay is like finding bin laden. But the mentioned store has reef raft pieces

kien 02-25-2013 01:24 PM

The more important question is.. rather than calcium carbonite, is its skeleton made of adamantium?!?! Enquiring minds want to know!!

Proteus 02-25-2013 02:53 PM

Haha. I googled it

Adamantium is an indestructible metal alloy in the Marvel Comics Universe. It is best known for being the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's skeleton and bone claws.

Maybe ill ask Stan lee for a frag

Sure.....Burc seems to have imported one very similar to the one Jay imported. Both wild pieces....maybe the same...maybe just similar. IDK.

I do know that Burcs Pearlberry is nothing close to the ORA pearlberry.

Proteus 02-25-2013 08:11 PM

I asked burc
He claimed it from same supplier as jay.

Who knows

I googled "wow factor" sps and it brought me your list in this thread. Great list of stuff, but didn't know what "Wow factor" was so I googled it.. and it brought me back to this thread. Awesome list of stuff, but i didn't know what "wow factor" was so I googled it.. and it brought me back to this thread. Cool list of stuff here, but I didn't know what "wow factor" was so I googled it..

Be wary of any pics from wet thumb frags...ie. wow factor.

Actually scratch that....be wary of any sellers pics with out hobbyists pics to back it up. Also be wary of wild SPS.....they have a tendency to change colour.

Proteus 02-25-2013 09:15 PM

That pic is from reef farmers. But I do understand all tanks are different

Phil 02-25-2013 09:19 PM

+1 I find there's a Huge differance between the colors on my two tanks on the same peices ones got 150 hqi and the others a t5 fixture some of my zoas look like totally different peices

lastlight 02-25-2013 09:28 PM

I inverted that image. i think the wow coral is in fact a reverse wolverine.

what's the EXACT lineage of this coral anyways? if it's not directly from the CREATOR himself it's not legit.

kien 02-25-2013 09:29 PM

the plot thickens!!

Don't know about pearlberry but the wolvs did look like the same to me and hence got confused.

I guess SPS gurus should start cutting the SPS and put it under microscopes to name accordingly so that no mix up happens :razz: Because as far as I know, same corals can morph different colors in different tanks...

Ooh that's purty

reefermadness 02-25-2013 11:13 PM

The longer a coral has been in captivity the less likely they will change colour IME/IMO.

[Sarcasm]
IME 2X RC TOTM winners + 1X CR TOTM are usually incorrect in most of the statements they make on the internet.
[/endsarcasm]

This is why I stick to Zoas... Clearly a much easier time trying to identify "Fire & Ice" and the 1000000 other morphs that look like that but have fancier names.

^^^ Also sarcasm... Apparently I don't know how to use this emotion on the internet.
