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.....

SirPuffington · « **Reply #5 on:** February 01, 2015, 21:05:35 »

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

SirPuffington · « **Reply #9 on:** February 01, 2015, 22:02:31 »

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.

Mussin · « **Reply #19 on:** February 02, 2015, 13:46:40 »

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.

Keith92 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 02, 2015, 23:27:09 »

Which ones are 35 ?
Where are you located?

old fart · « **Reply #22 on:** February 03, 2015, 00:44:25 »

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?
Don

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.

SirPuffington · « **Reply #24 on:** February 03, 2015, 10:35:16 »

Any macro or shrimp? Lol

volcano · « **Reply #25 on:** February 03, 2015, 10:37:25 »

2 cleaner Shrimp for $15 each, possibly some dragons breath, but it's running low because my turbos went crazy on it.

volcano · « **Reply #26 on:** February 03, 2015, 10:56:55 »

Old Fart that is Encrusting Hydnophora. I will attach a better pic shortly.

H2Ohio · « **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2015, 12:16:39 »

What do you need to get for those couple of freestanding zoa colonies?

Keith92 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 03, 2015, 12:28:13 »

I would like to have one of the Lobo. Let me know the best time to meet.

old fart · « **Reply #29 on:** February 03, 2015, 18:44:51 »

how much for the zoas, shrooms, flames, hermits< as many as I can get< maybe the monti/ and the other encrusting you mentioned Don would also be interested in either the sailfin or yellow tang

volcano · « **Reply #30 on:** February 03, 2015, 18:57:34 »

I'll be home shortly to answer questions. I got super busy packing things up, but sounds good old fart, I'll take care of you. Give me about an hour, thanks guys.

Patrick K · « **Reply #31 on:** February 03, 2015, 20:43:07 »

I am interested in some of the brains. I am new to this site though. So I can't message you,if you would like you can e-mail me it's patrickknoerzer@yahoo.com. Thank you

volcano · « **Reply #32 on:** February 03, 2015, 21:12:47 »

Patrick, I can email you. As for the brains, most are spoken for. I think they plan on coming tomorrow and Friday to pick them up. I still have 1 nice ones, maybe 2. If that doesn't work, I can snatch a few out of my other tanks.

old fart · « **Reply #33 on:** February 03, 2015, 21:45:51 »

PM sent with my info for contact. Don

volcano · « **Reply #34 on:** February 03, 2015, 22:07:43 »

Alright, Old Fart, I will send you an email and I responded to your pm.

volcano · « **Reply #35 on:** February 03, 2015, 22:12:12 »

Okay, as for the corals spoken for. Brains & Lobo are all spoken for until Saturday. The orange blastos pictured are gone. I have more orange, but they are very pricey at $50 per head which is half the retail price. Acans are all here and I will take $700 for the entire lot, including the massive one that is larger than my hand. You could easily have 20+ nice pieces if you cut up the massive red and blue. Most acans are common color varieties except for a nice sized rainbow and an orange acan. The tangs are both here and 5 designer clowns. I have a tons of red mushrooms and some blue legged hermits and turbo snails. I also have about 10 flame scallops remaining. Thanks everyone! I hope I answered everyone's questions and didn't skip you. If I did, please Pm me!

SirPuffington · « **Reply #36 on:** February 04, 2015, 09:03:47 »

What time did you say was a good time again? I get off at the FD at 5, Lebanon is about a 45 min drive roughly. I can be there as early as 6-630.

volcano · « **Reply #37 on:** February 04, 2015, 09:40:12 »

7pm is ideal. I can probably be home by 6:30 but that might be pushing it and I don't want you to have to wait. Depending on what you want, I could bring it with me. I will be in sprinboro, just off the Alex Bell exit at South Metro Ice arena. I am off the ice at 6pm and I usually pick up dinner to bring home to my kids after. So let me know or call me @ 513.509.0494.

SirPuffington · « **Reply #38 on:** February 04, 2015, 11:51:07 »

Ok, I will aim to be there around 7 so you can eat with your family (will be more around 7:15). Definately want hermits, a scallop or 2, maybe a nasarious or 2. I don't think I can talk my wife into another $15 for a cleaner shrimp lol.

volcano · « **Reply #39 on:** February 04, 2015, 12:02:48 »

Sounds great. I will see you then. If you need to call, my # is 513.509.0494.

Thanks,

Tom

H2Ohio · « **Reply #40 on:** February 04, 2015, 12:30:43 »

Did someone snatch up you stand alone zoa colonies? Price?

volcano · « **Reply #41 on:** February 04, 2015, 12:37:56 »

Nope, they are all here. One guy wants the green ones in the frag tank, but the more expensive varieties are here.

volcano · « **Reply #42 on:** February 06, 2015, 09:32:17 »

I still have plenty of corals remaining.

-common variety acan lords (Not selling any of the rainbows, ironmans, or orange acans)
-plenty of zoas
-cabbage leathers
-orange blastos
-a few red plate monti frags
-lots of Euphyllia (common color variety branching hammers)

All the brains are sold or spoken for. However, I may pull more out of another tank very soon. When I do pics will follow.

Thanks everyone. I post more pics when the lights come on!

The brains I got from you today look awesome in my tank. Thanks Tom!

Awesome Mussin! Thanks for remembering I didn't take your cash!

Yep, I have a tank raised Yellow tang. He will be fine in that size tank until you are ready to move him. Pm me for my address.
