JAKARTA LFS...at Sumenep Menteng.

[kueytoc]

Hi, juz visited the Sumenep area which is well known for some marine LFS shops.

Location : The area is right down the road after you passed Kuningan Seafood restaurant which is a 5 mins drive from Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Impressed with some shops selling mainly LPS corals especially Alm Tropika Aquarium with its 3 huge-sized aquariums, stocking different & exotic types of LPS & softies.

At last, I have managed to see an orange true octos in its original state which is really huge & almost roundish shape. I must say it's really 'swee' compared to those specimens here that have been broken into smaller pieces.

Frogspawns are plentiful too...

Gorgonians here are plentiful with so many sizes & colors to choose.

Sun corals are super big...large polyps !

Mushies...wow...so many different colors...orange, striped, blue, hairy...& all on one rock !!!

And yes not forgetting ZOOs...wow man...imagine those you came across in books or reefers sites...you can easily buy those from here...eagle-eyed red zoos, pink zoos, greenish-yellow zoos...& most come in big pieces !

You wouldn't believe that the cost is about $6 per rock for those specimens.

There are also reddish & greenish yellow star polyps...favias, moon corals, red pratas, orange cynarina...really mouth-watering man !

Here are some pics which I have taken. Enjoy !!!
