For Sale 110 complete setup Madison, WI

Moving across country and after trying to figure out the best way to do this, I have come to the conclusion, selling it intact gives all of my fish and corals the best chance to survive. I HATE doing this because my tank has been doing so well and everyone is so content, but there is just too much uncertainity regarding how soon I would be able to set up again.
Heres what I have :
Aprox. 80 lbs live rock most of it from Gulfview - awesome rock
4" live sand just teaming with critters everywhere
5" long tenacle anemonoe like coral - not an anemomone
6" dia. Mat pololyp coral
8" dia Mushroom rock / 10 shrooms ?
10" dia. Plate coral
8" dia button pololyp coral
12" large lettuce coral
5" dia. plate coral
4 asst shrooms 1 1/2 - 3" on various rocks
Largest Coral Banded Shrimp I have ever seen - awesome critter and very bold and always out and about
Sailfin Tang
Dwarf Flame Angel
Pink Antheius - beautiful
Firefly Goby
Scooter Blenny
Emearld Crab
Peppermint Shrimp
3 spiny urchins
1 unnamed little lobster like lochness monster that eats any snails or crabs it can catch. Has a lobster like tail, but no claws, very aggressive, have no idea where it came from, but has eaten several dozen snails and crabs and will be sacrificed rudely if I can ever catch the little sucker !!!
Everyone is completely healthy, coraline algea growing everywhere on everything like crazy. I hate to even sell but again, I don't know how long it will be before we are settled into a house that will allow this to be setup properly. This all was inside my 110 gal tall tank. I will only sell intact, do not send me emails asking for this or that and how much I want for this, I WILL NOT split it up. All or nothing. If that changes and I decide to split it up I'll post that here. I will even help with setup if need be to make sure my little friends survive the move. Make me an offer thats legitimate and I will consider it. There is easily over a grand here without any problem. I know I will not get that, heck I am even willing to take a little less if the person knows what they are doing, so my firends will do well. I am in Watertown, WI 1/2 way between Madison & Milwaukee right off I-94. At this point, I am not inclined to ship either, too much danger to the little guys, and I don't want to get into that - pick up or forget it. If that changes I will post here as well. This is a great deal for the right person

Could the 'lobster" possibly be a mantis shrimp? Is so, I would take it if you are just going to kill it, I'll pay shipping.
 
Yeah, mention 1 lobster (Mantis shrimp), evidently he did not read the post. SELL INTACT. Geez
considering one hell of a fast drive with speeding tickets. 500 dollars. I know, It's worth more, but He, hell of a lot of die off possible.

"have no idea where it came from, but has eaten several dozen snails and crabs and will be sacrificed rudely if I can ever catch the little sucker !!!"
I took this line to negate it as part of the whole package. He'd kill it if he could. Hell, he may want to anyway. I'm not quite sure what your beef is, but sitting around making bitter/snide comments about someone you don't know doesn't exactly cast you in a good light. Had BJ said it, it would have been different. You saying it is petty and childish. And I don't care how old you are...it only matters how old you act.

This post is only to sell live things - no hardware is for sale - tank, lites ect are all being kept, this is just to sell critters and rock - hopefully to one house ?
Someone who knows something of these Mantis shrimp - could it have survived inside the live rock ? No water for 36 hours during shipping ?

BJ,
If you decide to sell your critters seperately, let me know. I don't have a tank large enough to buy it all off of you, but would definately be interested in many of the critters.
Thanks!

People are sending me a lot of mail asking me to part this out. I really am not ready to resort to that yet, as I have ads in the local papers ect... IF I decide to part it, I will post that here. In the meantime - I figured it all out and I have almost $1300 into everything listed, including almost $500 into the LR from Gulfview alone. I will sell it all for $600, fish, corals, critters, LR, and the live sand

everything has been sold. Thanks for the replies, by the way, it did go altogether to someone setting up a new tank, just like I had hoped.
