Default Looking to buy frags

AJ_77, of course they are available locally! [img]smile.gif[/img] Canadian_Man is correct about the lighting, of course ...

Of the M. cap, what I have is pretty small still. The largest frags are no more than 1" square. The smallest is only a few mm in size, but amazingly even at that size they are showing polyp extension (M. cap has very small polyps -- you have to look REAL close ;) ). The real small ones, if they grow a little, will be looking for homes eventually, but for now I would like to grow them up a little.

My purple acro is a virtually bulletproof coral, and one of my fastest growing corals. A piece of it is available anytime, just need to break off a piece and away we go. Actually, I tend to make accidental frags of this all the time...

If anyone is interested, I also have a small colony (a frag made about a year ago) of my purple acro. Only thing is it is not purple, the tank it is in has an old bulb, and it hasn't gone purple on me. It is chocolate brown. Other than the somewhat less exciting colour it has a nice shape and is a decent size. It *will* colour up under good lighting... it just needs the proper environment. I've been hanging onto this guy for mainly sentimental reasons (I dunno .. I guess I get attached to my "baby corals") but I guess I don't really need 3 colonies of the same coral..
