FS: Monti Danae Frag

[IconicAquariums]

This is the one that alot of people are looking for. I have one 1.5" frag. It's got a blue skeleton with red polyps. I'd like to get $50 for it, $40 if you pick it up on my side of the hudson. www.exoticreefs.us was selling frags for like $60 IIRC, and they were only 1". Also, the person growing it for them took down his tank, so i don't know where these are going to be coming from anytime soon.

Joe,
1: the frag sounds awesome,
2: I can not find it on the link your provided
3: $40?, C'mon man, fair is fair and I hope you get it but this is a frag and we all trade for the hobby,,, not to make a profit!

I might want it. What color is it?

 

[IconicAquariums]

David, I'm not out to make a profit. If you want it for lower, then make an offer. I'm not unreasonable, just ask

Also, this colony wasn't cheap. I'm trying to pass it along to someone else to enjoy and propogate. I didn't make the frag on purpose, and if I had room on the reef i would keep it. I just picked up a 7" Hydnophora Microconos and need to clear some(alot) room.

They no longer have it for sale, but here is the photo I found from there.

I just read 2 reviews of the size, and they were selling 1/2" frags for that price.

My colony is the blue color, but the frag is not in optimal conditions, so the skeleton is white with red polyps. It will turn blue again once in higher light and flow. Will also trade for any healthy deepwater acros. I have bad luck with shipping

Joe,
Thaks for the reply,
I do understand and did not mean to disparage you... truely.
The coral looks great!
Let me tell you what I have for trade that you may be interested in,
Monti Cap, green with purple rim (large frag), green slimer frag (small but mounted and begining to branch) & if you need some macre I have Cheatomorpha.
If any of that interests you let me know what you would give me $ credit and I'll try to make up the difference.
Thanks,
David

David, if you can pick it up i'll give it to you for $30 and a Slimer. Small is fine, as it will grow.

Just note, that is not my picture, and my colony is growing into a pillar.

Joe,
Thanks for the fast reply.
The Monti Danae looks great and I'd love to have a frag! But I think I will have to pass. The white skeleton makes me nervous. Mostly not sure about the recovery of the one you have.
But if it perks up please let me know, email me at [email protected] if you like.
Thanks,
David

I'll take it.

What white skeleton?

 

[heuerfan]

Wow thats nice, can it survive under pc lighting?

 

[Meisen]

Joe, do you still have this???

 

[Pseudo]

If it is available, I am interested.

Frag is Sold.

Steve, if you like brown corals, then yes

Get some halides. You should see some of the new zoos I got...they're sick.

Jackson, that pic isn't mine.

Hey, guys: I'll vouch for the coral. I have a part of the same colony that Joe got.....colors in that pic are nearly dead-on.

And no, I ain't fragging it yet. Current growth pattern doesn't warrant it right now.

 

[heuerfan]

LOL, didn't even realize that was you Joe! I will be expecting some of those sick zoos!

I'm getting a new camera soon, need some pics?

Seriously, i got to upgrade my lighting, that danae is freaking awesome. Are you sure it turn brown? I think you should frag me a small piece so i can conduct a test........

 

[Meisen]

Wow that really is an awesome one. Too bad it isn't growing fast!!!! Ken, put me on your list for if/when you are ready to break it up. BTW the stuff you and I traded last summer is rampaging in my tank. That red acro grows like xenia. I have fragged it 3X already and it is still like 5" X 7"!!!! I think I maybe started with 2" piece.

 

[kennerd]

told you so...that was the really skinny one, right?

 

[Meisen]

Yeah it was....I thought you were being optimistic! Anyway, let me know when you want to trade again, I have a few things other than snails this time! Apologies to Joe, though this thread seems to be done.
