What exactly are you looking for? I live in Whitewater (20-30min from Janesville) I have some zoos, gsp, xenia, clove polyps and possibly a leather that I could frag for you.

Depends on what ones you want and how big of frags. Those are the main colonies. I am going to frag them all right now and I will try to do a bunch of 5 polyp frags of the zoos.

Are you talking about the Florida Ricordias in the last pic that are on the edge of the right side? Those are not for sale and I don't feel safe enough to try to frag them since they are my only ones. Just finished fragging about 5 minutes ago. Once everything opens back up tomorrow I will get some pics with some prices. If you want the Hairy Green Shroom in the last pic I need to know before I try to frag it though.

kinda noobish question but what does "frag" mean..sorry new to corals

"frag" means fragment or a piece of the coral that will regenerate/grow into a full coral or colony of corals. So fragging something means that you cut it into healthy portions and allow each piece to grow into a seperate coral. I saw your post on one of my other threads. What I have is reserved for vexrsx05 since he was the one who asked. Anything that I have left over will be up for sale but I will not ship it. This is my first time selling corals and I would prefer not to try my first attempt at shipping in weathers like these. I you would be willing to make the drive thats another story but we will see what is left over first.

What little circle things are you talking about? The zoanthids? If you have the standard hood that comes with a tank that will not be sufficient lighting for any corals. What kind of lighting do you have over your tank?
Read this and it will give you a good idea about adequate lighting (Although the T-5HO info isn't quite right):

I would talk to your LFS about lighting and they should be able to give you a good idea (if knowledgeable) about the different types of lighting. I for one will not sell these corals if I know that you do not have adequate lighting to keep them alive.

wat size tank do you have?

Right now I have a 29gallon but I am purchasing all the equipment to upgrade to a 75 Gallon in May/June right now. If you are looking for lighting the advice I got was to go with a T-5HO setup with 4-8 bulbs depending on the tank dimensions (the more the better) and make sure that they have individual reflectors not a parabolic reflector.
T-5HO bulbs run cooler, are cheaper, and the bulbs last longer than Metal Halide. You can say the same thing in comparison to a Power Compact other than the price although in the long run they are alot cheaper (each bulb is a fraction of the cost of a PC bulb and also better lighting). If you don't mind spending the extra money on the Fixture, Bulbs, and Electricity costs though I would say go Metal Halides.
What size tank so you have right now.
