Like I say, I got plenty. We'll work something out. I think I sold Kevin that stalk for around $10 or a little less. I can assure you you'll have more than you want in 6 months.
Let take this private. My email is jhead67@attbi.com.

Opps sorry, I switched a little while back and it still hard to get it straight sometimes, its right now.
I have a dozen or more stalks (seems like two dozen) now and a few small loose pieces floating around to tank. I also have a few yellow stars that are loose in the tank, if I find them I'll toss them in. Noone has ever positively ID the xenia but it came on some fiji LR so I think its a former wild strain of fiji pom-pom. At first I tought it was red sea but I don't think it's white enough. And Kevin is right it's one of the fastest pulsing xenia's I've seen. It pluses closed like a tulip not like a twisted little fist.

buyitjody,
I go to Boutique Pet Shop, on Garland rd, near white rock lake. They have a decent selection and 2 guys that are real knowledgeable, and there [prices are OK, but you cab find better on the net. A good place to look too.
I have not found any other place except to Dallas N. Aquarium, and they are very pricey, I will not buy there.
If you know a better place let me know
Bob

I dont really like dallas north aquarium, the people there are rude
and their prices suxors
one of their employees ran over my wife to get to a tank.
he didnt say pardon me or anything just ran over her
Aquatic design on parker road and alma is nice, people there friendly and will work a deal of you ask.
Salwater Solutions, I thought was a joke. His prices are 2x anyone else
James,
Where is the one in Irving located?
Boutique Pet Shop is very nice set-up
Bill in the Salt room is very knowledgable and will go out of his way to help you.
Dockery what was the pet store you go to that doesnt weigh the LR?

North Dallas Aquarium--I agree, most of the staff is rude and not very helpful. They act like you're in the way or something. There have been one or two employees who have been helpful and nice, but that has not been the norm when I have been in there. They do have a nice selection of tanks. I agree, they are VERY high priced...proud of their stuff I guess.
Boutique Pet Shop--Got a good deal on our live rock because we bought A LOT at one time. Think we got almost $100 off....fuzzy math in my favor...no complaints here! However, their livestock leaves much to be desired. Every fish and shrimp I have bought there died within a couple weeks. The other fish & shrimp I got from another store were fine & still alive, so I believe something was wrong with the stuff I bought there.
Saltwater Solutions off 35--I agree they can be a little high priced. I have gotten some things cheaper there than other places there. I will say all the coral I have bought there is still alive.
Planet Pet in Hurst--I LOVE going in that place. However, it does seem to be a bit pricey. Ok prices if you go on a day they are having a sale.
Aquatic Designs--Ok place---a bit cramped though. Not always helpful if there is a crowd in there.
Petland in Lewisville off of 35 just north of 121--One of my favorites. Can be pricey, but often has decent prices. Sign up for their free customer program and get 10% off any livestock on Saturdays and 20% off any livestock on Tuesdays (or maybe it's Thursdays...can't remember). EVERYTHING (but one coral) I have bought there is alive and in good health.
I'll have to check the place out in Irving.
