madsalt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I don't want this post to sound like I am being cheap. The reason I asked for $5 frags is because I want to really try to take my tank from startup to full reef without adding large corals. I want to grow them them out starting small all the way to me fragging them. I am looking for soft and LPS with some SPS sprinkled in here and there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I dropped off all my frags at Niko's. Don't feel ashamed to want small, cheap frags. Everything I start with is 2" of less and normally $10 or less. Half of the fun is watching them grow. I also don't want to feel like I wasted a ton of money if they die. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've got some Ponape birds nest frags still. Also have a small, single orange ric and and few small mixed zoas I'd sell for $5. The birds nest is mounted but the ric and zoas aren't. The zoas are a mix of, I believe, radioactive dragons eyes and green bay packers.

FarmerTy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Good strategy. I've loaded up my tank with about 70% ARC member frags in my tank. All but two pieces were grown from 2" or smaller frags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zoas that were mounted have opened and closed and when I took the pics they weren't opened so I will try again. Thanks for meeting me today, the corals look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAM Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If you ever need more SPS frags, I got plenty $5 frags especially some birdsnest (pink, ORA green, BOP, Hyacinth) need trimming, purple stylo, two different pocillo (ORA red tip and valentine), also got various monti digi (red, green, fire, yelllow lantana, purple, spongodes, etc) and other encrusting and plating monti available. Also have many other acro (these might be a little depending on the size of the frag) that's already fragged and healed including blueberry star turaki, skittle grandualosa, ultimate stag, poletti blue stag, small PC rainbow frag, and I think I might have a nicely healed oregon tort off the top of my head if you ever interested. Just being too lazy to post any but you are welcome to come over on the weekend and grab any of these for cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
