PM any interest and please include your cell number or I will not respond.
Pickup is in Wakefield, MA. I can ship, but only if you have your own FedEx # (call Fed Ex and set up an account 800-463-3339, credit card is all you need) and accept responsibility for any losses. Will only ship orders >$100.
Photo of most of the corals are available here:

There are also additional photos on my ancient web site www.greghiller.com but there are many colonies there I no longer have.
All of my corals are parasite free. This includes Acropora eating red bugs (Tegastes), Acropora eating flatworms, Montipora nudibranchs, Montipora black bugs, Zoanthid parasites, Xenia nudibranchs, etc., etc. I DO NOT import anything. Everything I sell is from my own tanks. Generally most everything is very hardy and has been in my system(s) for multiple generations, for years if not a decade or more. I very rarely bring anything new into my systems. While I generally encourage people to practice 'safe coral trading' procedures, as long as you don't mix my corals with any others that have not been quarantined, you should not have any problems.
Please don’t ask me the “provenance,” or exact origin of any of my corals. If I know or can remember I’ve put it in the description. Many of these I’ve had a LONG time. Please order based on the photo and the description. If you need a pedigree certificate, go to a dog show!
If you have a problem with the death of any of my corals in the first few weeks, let me know. Bring it back to me and I’ll likely give you another or refund your $.
I’m also open to trades, but only exceptional corals, and only if I think you are experienced enough not to have any parasites.
