BTA's and corals - Calgary
 
I've got 4 BTA clones available - $15.00 each
Birdsnest (red) frags $20.00 each
Pectinia frags $25.00 each
Heliopora (Blue Ridge coral) frags $15.00 each
The infamous "Calgary" Devils Hand leather coral frags (pretty much indestructible) $15.00 each

Pick up for this stuff is anytime after January 1, please. :smile:

The birdsnest, heliopora and pectinia colonies are about 8 or 9 inches across.

With the pectinia, it's an LPS with a fragile skeleton, so if anyone's interested in a frag of that, let me know ahead of time (at least a week) so that I can break a piece of the skeleton off and let it hang off the mother colony so the "skin" can separate on it's own. I would prefer not to cut it and possibly open it up to infection.

The birdsnest, Blue Ridge and Devils Hand can be fragged as people come over.

3 of the BTA's may be spoken for - Alan, Lofus and maybe impreza?

Trades also considered.

Here's a recent pic of my tank:

Mitch, intersting technique on fragging the pectinia. I used to have one and never even thought about fragging it.

Put me down for Pectinia please. and let me know when it is ready to go please. :question:

Brad, it's something I found out by accident. In order to pick up the coral colony, I have to literally "cradle" it in both hands. I can move it around fine under water, gently, but if I take out of the water too aggressively, I can feel some of the arms of the skeleton breaking. After I put the colony back in the tank, the coral will drop the broken piece, somewhat similar looking to a polyp bailout.
Deb got one of those from me a while ago, and as far as I know, it's still doing fine.

Bob, I'll let you know!
