In search of................... Blue or purple plating montipora..............

I have been on a quest to find a frag of blue or purple plating montipora....... I dream about the elegant whorling in these two hues. Please can someone help before I am driven mad with the desire for one of these. Can anyone point me to a source? I know One of my fellow reefers is Santa and will make my christmas wish come true.........

Ok guys I got 6 frags out of it and still got to keep the mother colony most of the frags are small, there are a couple of medium frags I will sell the small ones for $10 plus shipping cost and the mediums for $15 plus shipping cost....I did mount them (with marine epoxy) to snail shells I will try and post some pics later....got my new Nikon995 too :P

I would guess that the shipping to CA will be $15-$20 and to MI maybe $10-$15.....I will find that out as well.

Hi Scubadude
I dont want to leave you hangin.I'm no longer interested in buying a frag. I cant see paying $25.00 shipping for a $15.00 frag.
Thanks anyway
Ralph

Cool

Scubadude, if there are any frags left I would be interested in one of the smaller pieces. I'm in Maryland, not sure what shipping would cost. I have a 10 gal nanoreef that is doing alright so far but has no corals yet. Would any of your frags be suitable for a first addition to a tank that small? I have some tiny serpent stars, blueleg crabs, and an emerald crab in there. Oh yeah, and a buttload of featherdusters!
