I fragged these colonies already and have to get them out of my tank. I have no room for them.
As much as it pains me to do this, I am now dropping the price extremely low.
The frag packs are now $140 SHIPPED Shipping will be overnight via Fedex.
Send me a PM if interested. You will get 8 frags for this price (the seven frags pictured in the other thread plus a purple rim montipora foiliata).
Pics are in the other thread..... https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=273676

I bought these huge colonis and then realized I didn't have enough room so I had to trim them down and have to get rid of these frags.

You can also put together any combo of frags. Each frag will be $11.
Add $50 to the price of the frags you choose for shipping. I have some stuff going out on Wednesday, so let me know.

I use a dremel and cut a branch off at the base. It is pretty simple. Maybe I will make an SPS fragging video.......

They are not wild, they are aquacultured and I got them from a guy who had them for 2 years.
I need to put them in different places than what they are now and I can't do that until they are trimmed down a little.
One piece I am not touching is that huge cali tort at the top of the tank next to the tabling acro.

Two words.....Bare Bottom!
I have over 100x turnover in the display. I run an ETSS Reef Devil (rated for a tank 4x the size of mine), filter sock where the display drains into the sump, phosban reactor running carbon, etc...
I have had to clean the front glass maybe 4 times since I set the tank up in April. I have never cleaned the back glass......
Coralline is growing on the bottom of the tank now and some is showing up on the front and back glass. Scraping this stuff off of the front with a razor is going to suck.......

Wild or aquacultured, it is still very stressful for acros to be moved around that much. They need to be allowed time to acclimate to your tank before being "trimmed" and shipped to another tank. They also usually need a fairly established tank. New acros really should only be fragged in emergency situations such as to prevent rtn'ing, not to just make some room or $$$.
To frag them so soon and ship themout again is asking for a very poor survival rate for whoever gets them.

Thanks for the advice.......

I guess since I went out and blindly bought these colonies (aquacultured from a tank they had been in for 2 years 15 minutes from where I live) and have no idea what I am doing I should take what you said to heart.

I have been doing this long enough to know what these corals can and can't handle. A tank does not have to be established for one to keep SPS. Once a tank has cycled, you can add any coral you want. I know how to keep my levels where they need to be and do the work to keep them that way. I am obviously not trying to cash in as I am selling a pack for $10 per frag plus $50 for shipping.
I am actually only selling 5 of these. I thought I would have to trim them down more, but didn't need to.
Once again, thanks for the advice.....
