I have decided to take down one of my tanks. My goal is to raise enough funds to pay a debt and get a large rimless. I will part with any and all corals, a few designer clown pairs, a tang, and some inverts. At this time, I am keeping all the hard goods and most fish. I will also give away a large engineer goby (it's the size of an eel, lol) once I catch it. The corals will need to go first before that goby is ever caught. I am parting with paired designer clowns and either a yellow tang or sailfin. I am keeping 1 of the tangs but I don't have a preference. The clowns that I will part with are a pair of black ice, a pair of snowflakes, and only 1 Wyoming white. Prices vary depending on the corals and fish. These are larger colonies, some smaller. The more you buy, the better discount I can give. I have montis, acros, millis, zoas, trachyphyllia, lobos, ultra blastos, 12" maxima clams, acans, shrooms, etc. Finally, I have tons of blue legged hermit crabs and various snail species to get rid of, along with fire scallops. Pictures will follow shortly. Thanks!

How big is the yellow tang

volcano · « **Reply #4 on:** February 01, 2015, 18:54:17 »

It's a small to medium tank raised tang. Maybe 4" or so.....

What inverts? And I'd be interested in goby if no one else is.

volcano · « **Reply #6 on:** February 01, 2015, 21:19:13 »

Mexican turbos, Super Tongan Nassarius, blue legged hermits, flame scallops, and Nassarius. You can have this goby if I can ever catch it. This thing never comes out and it has caused sand to float in my water column.

SirPuffington · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2015, 21:40:26 »

Interested in hermits and maybe a turbo. I'd love a scallop but never owned one, mixed reviews

volcano · « **Reply #8 on:** February 01, 2015, 21:45:53 »

Sounds good. I have a lot! As for the scallops, they are pretty cool. Just be sure you don't have any fish that will eat them. Also, then tend to disappear and hide and then suddenly show up one day. When they turn up you can't miss the bright red. If you have a rimless tank the scallops will squirt your walls. Lol

I'd love to have one or two but one says expert only another says they're not that difficult so I've been nervous

volcano · « **Reply #10 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:26:00 »

Yeah, I don't know. I'm certainly no expert and I have maybe 15 in an all in one frag tank and they all do well. When I put several in my display, one was eaten by something the very first night. The other 2 found a nice place and open up every day. The only annoying thing with them is the water squirting issue. One time I was messing with the tank and one shot me right in the face. Lol

SirPuffington · « **Reply #11 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:34:23 »

Lmao I will take my chances! I don't have anything that would eat it unless my slipper lobster tries, doubt it. Would love to try.

volcano · « **Reply #12 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:35:37 »

It's worth a try and they are not expensive.

SirPuffington · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:36:46 »

How much for a few hermits, a turbo and a scallop or 2?

volcano · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:45:59 »

I'll take care of you. However, for that maybe $15.00 max. I will give you more than that too.

SirPuffington · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:48:57 »

Awesome. I can probably pick up weds if that's ok?

volcano · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:53:23 »

That will work. Wednesday evenings I have to give hockey / skating lessons but I am home by 7. However, I will be home all day until 3. Just let me know, but I will make sure you get a nice supply.

SirPuffington · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2015, 11:11:02 »

I work at the station until 5 and Lebanon is about 45 min or so from where I live. So I can be there after 7 sometime. Will fill you in when I talk to wife.

volcano · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2015, 12:42:36 »

Sounds good! Just let me know, if not Wednesday I can basically be around any day you want.

Can I get prices and pics of the brains you have very interested in the wellso in the 1st pic.

volcano · « **Reply #20 on:** February 02, 2015, 15:10:37 »

I have 5 of the trachyphyllia. 2 are just red and green. 1 is a crazy looking blue, green, red, colored and 1 is red and green with a bright blue around the edges. These are probably my favorite corals and the lobo glows under the lighting. These are all from Jakarta minus the lobo. That came from Florida, LOL so not really sure on it's origins.

The lobo is $45

These 2 trachs below are $60 each and 5" plus

This one and the red below it are $35 each and 4" to 5".

The colored one is $60 and 6"

The more you buy, the better discount, and I will accept offers. Just stop by, bring money and start picking things. lol. Offer a price and I will see what I can do.

Which ones are 35 ?
Where are you located?

I would be interested in the paly/zoa and the >looks like GSP's might be interested in some of the other larger ones also depending on colonies if your selling them< do you have any softies < leather.shrooms etc?

volcano · « **Reply #23 on:** February 03, 2015, 10:33:09 »

Nope, sorry no GSP. I consider that an enemy in my tanks. It took me a year to eradicate the stuff and I will never add it back.

You can certainly grab this zoa and I think what you see as GSP is actually a type of monti. Therefore, I will get you another pic.
