Truly Exciting!!

[hamannbmw]

Oh i should do that huh?

I was always thinking of giving it FOC??????!!

Now that you all mention ya! i should do that!

oh.. if u r giving it FOC i guess nobody here is up to the standard to keep a$300 coral.... guess your only choice would be Underworld World.....lolssss

[Ancelot]

Corals FOC? Nono.. i mean the queue.. lolx..

[Achilles Tang]

i would like to apologise for something.. the first pic is not a lobophyllia its a BRAIN! I just forgotten abt it.. got too engrossed on the phone about a new lobo coming in..

Most lobophyllia species are also known as brain corals.

[Achilles Tang]

So you showed us your brain... but we'll still waiting for the photos of the blasto that you sold off for $280.

Pray tell us how much you paid for your blasto originally and which LFS did that come from?

tell me, r u AMAZED??? something which u r dying to hv? bet u dun hv a 300 buckaroos LPS specimen in ur tank right?

p.s. pm me for anti-depressants and sleeping pills if u feel depressed or hv insomnia after this........

[Achilles Tang]

Oh... it appears that I may have mistaken the acro frags to be the expensive items.... so it WAS the blasto merleti!!

WOW!! And I'll say it backwards too... WOW!!!!

[bum]

sorry, but i gotta ask.

whats so special about a merletti?

as compared to wellsi

[Achilles Tang]

I think its special because 6 polyps of Ancelot's merletti costs $280, which makes it about $54 buckaroos EACH!

[bum]

'hee hee'

i see...

[Achilles Tang]

I heard the TOTM winners in RC and UR are also eagerly awaiting this new masterpeso... I am 100% sure it will put even AT's SPS tank to shame since even he does not have $280 coral specimens..

I was tempted once to pay about S$170 for an acro colony that was originally flown from our region all the way to Europe and then to bring it back again via 'first class' in a heated hold with zero margin.

It was a very rare coloured acro... a true gem, probably worth its price as I have not seen anything like this in the reefing community before then.

And this reefer friend didn't even want to mark up, just to pay him the price he got it for.

A gem of a find it was, like nothing you can easily find in our LFS last time.

Today, I mentally kick myself.

[joolye]

hmmm.. really dunno how to admire the gem! maybe i'm a cheapo coral keeper..........

[AlfaRomeo]

AT, did you get the gem Acro or you skipped it?

[flubberina13]

Wah!!! I went out...came back still dun have the tank pics...

sigh...when do I have to stop chanting...

[Ancelot]

It is rare because so far i know, i think divers can only find this specimen in the some parts of the ocean towards the south, near to another continent. Exact location i forgotten le.. but other than there, i dont think you can find it anymore.. thats why its a rare sight to be in Singapore lest to say in US.. so think about it...

anyway AT,

I paid $120 for 2 50cent coin polyps and now got so much polyps... selling at that price i dare to say its cheap le.. think about the efforts and time i wasted in it. I banished dont know how many fishes just because they pecked at my blasto! so ya lor!

[Achilles Tang]

Which LFS sold at that price to you?

[lightningstrike]

FYI, blastomussa merleti a.k.a pineapple coral is commonly found in the indo-pacific waters........ and not from another continent as u hv put it.
