Oh yeah!
The owner of our LFS got a list yesterday for trans-ship straight from Indonesia. I just placed my order w/ him for 14 corals. My total came to $210 dollars. It'll be here Thursday. Can't wait.

Aragorn · 01-26-2002, 11:03 PM

Here's what I've ordered:

Red Plate Coral(Heliofungia Actiniformis)
Purple Jewel Coral(Goniopora Minor)
Yellow Pagoda Coral(Turbinaria Peltata)
Red Pipe Coral(Tubipora Musica)
Blue Xenia(Xenia Sp)
Pumping Xenia(Xenia Distorta)
Staghorn Acropora(Acropora Formosa)
Monipora(Montopra Digitata)

A few of 'em I ordered multiples since I have a few tanks.

As for how I worked it out, well, my boy's work there and I installed a Point of Sale system for the guy recently...he owes me BIG TIME!

They're arriving tonight( "Dance of Joy"

). The owner of our LFS is on his way down to Oakland to pick them up from the airport and heading straight back. I hope they're in good shape.

Aragorn · 01-31-2002, 10:01 PM

But of course!

Dave, not to be the bringer of bad news (and it may not be), but the Yellow Tubinaria r. you got is possibly going to be dyed. They have been shipping them from the indo pacific for quite a while (years). About 5 months ago Aquarium Concepts got a few of them in. Amazing looking.....but they lost all color and faded to the common grey in a period of weeks.

John (tubs) got one, you might want to ask him about it. (I know that one hurt

)

Otherwise its a great looking list! Can't wait to see pics.

Perry,

Yeah I've heard about that. Well, I had to roll the dice. The piece looks nice(hopefully it'll stay nice). Anyway, it's 5:30AM Pacific Time. I've been up all night. What an ordeal! The owner of our LFS left Tahoe at 5:30PM and didn't get back here until 3AM! HIS FREAKIN CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE WAY BACK!!! GEEZ! He broke down 150 miles away from Tahoe and had the car towed all the way!!! 700 dollar trip for him! Then we had to sort the shipment. Well, I'm acclimating them now. I'll get some pics this weekend.
