Your Most Wanted Coral/Frag/Fish List

[spikehs]

I'd love to see some unique bta color morphs.. I used to see some really nice green w/ orange tip ones, haven't seen any for a while, or anemones in general...

It would be nice to buy nice colonies online. Frags are all fine and dandy but for the most part they take a long time to grow out a 1" frag.

Not a slight at all against LFS's but local selection is usually spotty at best and typically when a nice shipment comes in unless you are standing at the door when they open you miss out because there are other people that are then as the lock opens.

Yes nice colonies!

That's what I'd like most. A WYSIWYG range of colonies or larger, more grown out frags.

It seems you have to be close friends with some LFS's to buy the nice stuff. Even camping outside the door doesn't help!

...just makes you cold & late for work!

Interesting - I kind of forgot about these guys having gone the SPS direction for quite some time.

I have though about adding colonies (SPS primarily but also LPS) for some time but was not sure about the level of interest. Shipping would also be an issue potentially as these guys would take up more space and be heavier. Thinking the 2-4" colonies that we see come in rather than the wild colonies I assume?

I hear you. In Toronto much of the nice stuff gets sent to the US these days. Locals don't even have a chance at it. Frustrating but is a business after all.

That's what I was thinking, the smaller bali aquacultured type acros and whatnot.

I would personally prefer more aquacultured items. I don't really care for much taken from the wild. If its a WYSIWYG mini colony/large frag, I would pay.

[wickedfrags]

I will keep this in mind!

What about non-indo aquaculture SPS? Has there been much non-indo staff on the west coast? I know we have not had one (excluding australia) for over a year I bet.

Walt Smith (Fiji or Vanuatu) would be nice.. it shows up from time to time out west...

[wickedfrags]

Thanks Tony.

And FYI - I have been listening to your comments and I have a few things in the hopper! Stay tuned, and thanks for your feedback.
