what is the coral of your desire? (pics please)

[64Ivy]

The last piece to make my jaw drop was Tub's Enchinata; the one he's currently selling on eBay. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to bid for coral.

silver bullett

I think I would have to go with the silver bullett that Kevin listed a couple pages back.

I think it's absolutely beautiful. Do you have any frags Kevin?

enchinata is a great bottlebrush coral and often the name of anything that doesn't look at all like one. that is a great coral but I feel you could get a similar one buying a wild colony. MUrfs reef has had real enchinata before as well as other great deepwater corals.

I want one of those deep dark blue acros thats sitting down at Soutas on a wait list.

 

[Illusion]

Would that be the Oregon Tort or the Blue Robusta? Both are Nice Pieces... You can get the Blue tort 1/2 soutas price from Upscales. The Robusta I have yet to see anyone besides Soutas have it.. Pretty sure Weast has it as well LOL...

Solid pink R. florida. There is an R. florida morph with blue margin, and a mix of light green and bright yellow verrucae of which I have few. I am searching for ones like this but with more yellow verrucae than green.

I Will have to snap pics of these.

I have heard old wives tales (possibly OFR tales) of blueish Euphyllia, namely E. parancora... might kill a man for such a thing...

I believe there is a picture of one in borneman’s book, I may be incorrect on this.

I few others... pop into mind.. blue tenius various milles

you should be able to get a few of those. gomezi will be blue and differ depending on your tank and lighting. don't buy a $50 frag of it because you can buy a colony for $60. bonsai I have a frag of it so email me in six months. I have had it for a few weeks and it grows ok from what I have seen. yellow humilis is a great coral. Eric borneman showed us a slide of the most yellow coral I have ever seen and since then I have wanted a yellow. tough color to keep though, most yellow gets greenish. blue just keep bothering Kevinpo and he has the blue humilis. the deepwater are great corals but you can color most of them us yourself. Mike has a tabling deepwater that is like carolina that is bright yellowish/green. The enchinata 64ivy found one of the best, tubs. Good luck with your collection.
