Frags?

[clown123]

my lfs has 3 or 4frags for 29.99 there small is this a good price?

 

[bronco300]

depends what the frag is

 

[clown123]

there mixed im new to reef so i dont reall now i saw polyps though?

 

[bronco300]

well without knowing what it is,how bigm, etc...if they are zoos with a super color ...it could be normal...but can't really say

A good size rock is about that price here so I would have to say no .
this rock is about the size of a soft ball and it was only 25$

This rock is about 4 inches long and 3 wide it was 12$

i got this frag from my lfs for 9.99....its nice i think, not super bright or anything, but i like em...brighter colors would be more expensive...and in the second pic, that cost me 15 i think it was, around 10 polyps probably, but like i said, who knows
basically its worth whatever you think it is...if it something you really like, then sure...if not, then no...i dont know

$10 would get me ONE mushroom. are fish stors cheaper when you are closer to the ocean or preaty much the same, and if u live near the ocean is it illegal to take thing from the ocean

 

[clown123]

taking some fish if u live up north there is a limit but u can take anything else i fish alot so u have to now this stuff!

 

[babyb]

so like corals and stuff u can take and you dont have to have a permit or anything
my senior class is going to costa rica at the end of april do u guys think i could get something from there (dead or alive). would i have to do anyhting special taking it on the airplain

 

[clown123]

OHHH! DO NOT I MEAN NOT TAKE NE THING! only dead stuff if u were in the us maybe but corals im pretty sure are illegal.

 

[bronco300]

no, i HIGHLY doubt they will let you take any corals and such from costa rica, i went there and tried to bring shells back, and they took them from me.

 

[babyb]

they flight is 3 hours, i like mail it to my house overnight and have someone at my house take care of it

 

[bronco300]

you talking about mailing the corals or something?? if so i doubt that would work either, they'd still check the package and what not

 

[babyb]

how was costa rica, we are all very excited about it. we are going for a mission trip. we have been working out tail off for it thou. in the morning we are leaving for kansas to sale cotton candy at a sesamy street (sp?). its going to be hell. last week we went and did concession. 14 hour days, up at 4:30 to get there but its all worth it

 

[babyb]

you cant take anything at all? you cant get a permit for it ?

 

[mile_high]

Taking thing from the ocean and putting them into your tank is not a good idea. You can introduce all kinds of nasty things to your tank. The corals you buy from the lfs have been thru many holding tanks that help to remove the bad things.
I doo agree with Bronco frags are worth as much as your willing to pay for them.

 

[bronco300]

costa rica is amazing, i went there to visit my gf for spring break, it was so much fun and beautiful, i think you'll have a blast....and as for corals, i really dont know, maybe if you have some permit, someone else might know better...but i would think that if i couldnt take shells from the beach, they're not gonna allow live corals and such.

 

[babyb]

well that just sucksi dont want to just bring back pics i want something that im going to enjoy for a long time. y will they not let you take shells

 

[bronco300]

i am not sure, im not 100% great with spanish, but i assume its just the fact that there could have been something in there that was live...taking things across the border that should be...not sure

 

[babyb]

how would i go about getting a "permit" (if i can) were would i go and would it be able to go on the plain or would i have to ship it seperate? what was your fav. part of costarica. y was your gf there does she live there. it would be awsome to live there. what was the food like, and what would be some advice that you have for anyone that was going to go to costa rica
