I've got a new frag disk of the blue ones underway. They should be attached on their own and forming new polyps in about two weeks. They're a little more difficult to frag because I have to cut each polyp off one at a time and then glue them down (same as the solid green ones). The other types grow long stalks and form clusters which are easy to just pull off and then elastic down.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the shipment. Corals arrived happy and now doing great in my tank. For anyone who hasn't bought from Russell before, let me say the frags he sells are well worth the money, and he ships them extremely well packed and warm..mine arrived and I think the corals thought they were still in their tank, they were open and the water temp was still really warm. Looking forward to getting more in the future.

A+ Russell. Haven't seen corals take a trip that well before. Can't wait for more of your eye candy.

Glad to hear that everything arrived in good health and that Greyhound didn't screw anything up. I'll keep doing what I do and hopefully every shipment will go as smooth as ours did.

Local guy so don't know about his shipping. But with the way he is, I would assume he is pretty anal (in a good way) in the way he packages and ships. But I must say that his frags are really nice and healthy and if he says he's keeping something for someone he sticks to his word. Some are more like little colonies rather than frags.

Default Thanks

Just received my shipment from Russell and things were excellent. Had them shipped via greyhound, arrived in excellent shape. All the comments about Russell's frags and his shipping methods are true as well as the comments about his holding items for people. Never met Russell other then to talk to him through Canreef, and have to say he is a man of his word. Thanks again.

Thank you all for the kind words. I feel like I should be trying to type up an acceptance speech or something after all of this praise.

Shipping coral is not something that I like to do and if I could get rid of everything I grow locally I would. So thank you all for being patient and understanding while I figure this out. So far so good, I've sent out 5 packages without any problems (at your end). However I have spilled a lot of water on myself lately... note to self: Petland fish bags are absolute garbage.

I'll continue to ship as long as my supplies last and as long as my coral growth can keep up with demand. If it gets to the point where I simply do not want to frag anything further or I can no longer find cooler/box combos to use I'll take a break for a while.
