Here's what I'll have for the auction for tomorrow. As always anything I donate will be free of any coral parasites.

Photos are all here:

1. Rainbow Favia - tank raised, fully healed, just about the most beautiful coral I've ever seen, and NO I did not fiddle with the colors in any way. Does not need lot of light or flow. Can be fed, but not necessary. Seems to be hardy. Photo is of frag available.

All photos are of the same coral (I thought it deserved 3 photos!...only one available). Slow growing.


2. Dave and Gina (remember them?!?) McReeferson's green and red Acanthastrea - photo is of frag available


3. Green Pavona - giant beautiful colony - very hardy, tolerant of low light and low flow. Photo of the colony and a close up. The ENTIRE colony is up for auction.


4. Blue Ridge coral - Very hardy - 'the living fossil' - no significant changes in millions of years - Heliopora caerulea - photo is of the large complete colony up for auction

5. Acropora tortousa, very hardy, original source unknown - 1-2" frag will be available

6. Emerald and Ruby Ricordea 'baby' - 2 photos, one of very large polyp - fully grown, the other is of one of the two 'baby' Ricordeas that will be available. These 'babies' were fragged several months ago and are fully healed. They are attached to small pieces of plastic which have been super glued to larger rocks. In time they will attach to the rocks on their own.

OK, I know I said to out bid Bob, if he starts bidding. This one excluded. Boy would I love that Rainbow Favia in our tank...
 
Yup,I remember Dave and Gina.
Wonder if they get back in the hobby once their little frag grows up?:eek:

Nice corals,Greg.
