Fish you can catch....corals I guess can just be "taken". I guess he means you didnt catch them....you "took" them
. Anyhow I dont know if you keep them...it might depend on how far out you "caught" them. If its close to the shore then there are many pollutants that you dont want. I would quarantine them for 4 weeks and see how they do before even attempting to put them in your display tank.

i think 1 is some type of half dead off the coast of a yellowish gorg. and the other was caught from a pole like catching a fish so yes i did catch it not pick it from 100 feet of water its a basketball sized green acro i took it to the LFS here and he gave me $400 for it. hes gonna frag them and sell them.

size of a basketball? i would have fragged it out myself, $25 for a 1" frag would have netted you WAY more than $400.

well size of a womens basketball, figured I could make 60 3x4" acros frags thats retail for $60, I did not want the hassle..the store probably buys it for much less than $60...so $400 was a bit low but like is said im not shipping out 60 frags and its not bad $400 for catching a coral. I do not provide any pictures of my livestock my tanks or my fishing trips to anyone but family, I'm sorry.

besides i sold the coral it looks like a big green acro vibrant, ****************
the gorgonian object i might post a pic of since I do not know exactly what it is..that is the reason and only reason I would post a picture, for educational purposes,I do not need to show off my tanks and my inhabitants for my own personal reasons.
If you think I am making any of this up feel free to question me about any my inhabitants equipment tanks corals inverts breeding stations, etc.. I will be happy to help anyone.
I have bred over 9000 clown fish.
