One coral, One fish.

[ricklalonde]

Whats the one coral and/or one fish that you really want, but haven't gotten yet for whatever reason?

Slow night on the forum.... 

 

[ricklalonde]

The one coral that I have yet to buy but have wanted forever is a Strawberry Shortcake Acro.

Tyree Purple Monster..... but Darryl should be calling me very soon ;D

What are you talking about Tyler......you have a frag already

I had a nice colony of SSC.....3-4 months in my tank and it goes poof! (RTN).  I have been growing a frag now for over a year...its a mini colony now, maybe    SSC is a nice coral....you use to get colony's for 120-150.  I think and hope they will come back but probably at a bit higher price and that is the risk of buying a nice wild colony....POOF  :?

Well, unfortunately it was so small and it grows so slow that it didn't make it.

Well you cant say I didnt warn you.

Anyway what I wish I could get but likely won't and not sure I would be willing to pay is a bounce mushroom !  Here is a picture of a small one...they get 4" around and this picture does it no justice.  Anybody who has been to SEAUMARINE should know this mushroom...

I also would like this mushroom but slightly less.  This one is currently at RR but Jay wants $250 per head.......wowzer.

Moorish Idols are awesome! But, all they really eat is sponges and they are extremely hard to keep healthy for that reason alone. You would need a couple tanks to keep growing out sponges to feed it enough or it will perish unfortunately.

I've all ways wanted an Aussie Echinata. Also, I LOVE the ORA Pearlberry! As for fish... I've all ways liked the Achilles Tang.

i would love a pair of mccullochi clownfish

Agreed. Nice Rastas. But I think may be a little pricey for my blood.

I read somewhere 275-400. But I would doubt there's any left.

I would really like to get my hands on a tank bred pair of mandarin gobies.

[/quote]They are being propagated by vendors and aquarists in the states so they do come available fairly regularly.....but ya the price is still high.  Although they seem to be good growers from what I read and the prices seem to be coming down.  Pretty soon you will be able to get a tiny fragment for a couple of hundred....yah....lol.

 

[davesolo29]

ouch...  i think i will wait til i know i can keep a $5 coral alive for more than a week first.
