Jason & Amber Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I am assuming they came from Austin Aqua Farms. They sell corals on eBay and are located on burnet rd. but only open like 1-4 on Saturday for you to pick up what you win or browse there selection. They have some nice stuff I have never seen at a LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadodge Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Where do they get them from? a few different places, Indonesia-Australia-Marshal Islands. U selling? no plans yet, one mille is green base with fluorescent green polyps, one is pinkish red with bright red polyps and pink coralites, the other is yellowish green body with redish brown polyps. Once they color up I will post some better pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Nice find! I wonder if the colonies are maricultured or collected? Have you always had pretty good success with keeping big colonies happy during the transition to an enclosed reef system? I never tried but I am curious. -Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadodge Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 look like lived harvest from the ocean. I have bought quit a few colonies from AAF in the past and have never lost one. And usually u get a cool acro crab with them as well, there are 4 in the 3 colonies I got and one emerald crab. They look very happy today, no sliming or browning. Hopefully when they color up I have some gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That's awesome! Acro crabs don't last long in my tank unfortunately with the big tangs swimming around. Good find man! -Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 There was a theory about communal crabs, shrimp, and fish that live within acro colonies preventing AEFWs from destroying colonies in the wild and that the prevalence of AEFWs in the reefing community is spurred by the lack of these communal animals in our captive colonies. Interesting theory I wanted to pass along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
