Hello! Thank you for visiting my site! I am an addicted Marine and Reef Aquarium hobbiest. Maybe you can relate? I currently have a 55 gallon reef (mostly leathers, mushrooms, gorgonians, and some LPS, with Lemonpeel Angel, Dwarf Cherub Angel,Tomato Clown, and Yellowtail Damsel), 12gallon Nano Cube Deluxe Reef (mostly sps, zoanthids, some leathers, and gorgonians, with 2 Occelaris Clowns) and a 125 gallon (shallow 6 ft x 2 ft) Aggressive Reef Tank with many large Gorgonians, Leathers, and Zoanthids), lots of macroalgae (Caleurpa Prolifera, Gracilaria) and a Snowflake Eel (18 inches long), Niger Trigger, Bluehead Wrasse, Atlantic Orangetail Damsel, and a Three Stripe Damsel. This tank also has a 4 foot long, 33 gallon refugium with a Protein Skimmer. All tanks also have a variety of other invertebrates (shrimp, crabs, etc.) I also have several propagation tanks now set up. All my tanks are lit by Power Compact 50/50 lighting. I don't use any filtration except live rock, live sand, and refugiums with macroalgae and regular water changes with natural seawater.
Unless otherwise noted, all the coral frags I am offering for sale are attached to a small piece of live rock, and have been observed for health and polyp extension for several weeks before being offered for sale. For ordering and shipping information scroll to the bottom of this page.
Corals currently available (You will sometimes see pictures of both the mother colony and the frags themselves).

/>
Macro Algae
Green Codium Algae. This is very attractive and herbivore resistant. Feels rubbery. I will be keeping about 2 softball size pieces in stock for $7.00 each. I can get more very easily.
/>
Gracilaria - This is very attractive and a great food for herbivore fish. To keep alive for any length of time it needs atleast moderate to strong light and a lack of herbivores munching on it. A good way to make it last if you want to feed it is to keep most of it in a well-lit refugium. Take small pieces from it to put in the main tank every week. Tangs and Angelfish love it. I am keeping about 2 portions in stock atleast 6-8 inches high and about 4-6 inches wide. $7.00 per portion. I can get plenty more easily until the late fall when the weather cools off and it starts to die off.
/>
Halymenia - This is a beautiful Macro (commonly red or gold in color). It is more hardy and a better nutrient exporter than gracilaria while still appealing as food to herbivores. I will keep 2 extremely large portions in stock for $7.00 each. I can get more very easily, although there will probably be certain times of the year it is hard to find.
/>
Ulva (Sea Lettuce) This is attractive and a great food. It also makes an excellent refugium plant. I will be keeping about 1 or 2 softball size portions in stock for $4.00 each whenever it is available.
/>
Sargassum - A very attractive plant that needs strong light and moderate current. This is harder to find. E-mail me for availability. I will keep one on hand whenever I find it. $7.00 for 1 large speciman.
/>
Grape Caulerpa starter portion. This is an outstanding refugium macro because of its fast growth and a food for many fish. It needs to be kept well pruned or it can go sexual. You would receive 2 or 3 strings for $4.00.
/>
Caulerpa Prolifera starter portion - Another excellent refugium plant and fast grower. It is less likely to go sexual (or completely sexual) than other Caulerpas, but still needs trimmed back, or it could happen. You would receive 2-3 strings for $4.00.
/>
Caulerpa Sertutaroides starter portion - Another fast growing, excellent refugium plant that needs pruning regularly. $4.00 for 1 clump.
I will ship either USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day delivery-no signature required for delivery-left at door if not home), or USPS Express Next Day Air Mail (signature required for delivery and able to be tracked). Especially during very cold or hot weather, I highly recommend you have it delivered to your local post office, and pick it up there. This has the additional benefit of allowing saturday delivery for no extra charge. For most locations, the package will be guaranteed by 10:00 A.M. (12:00 P.M. for home delivery) for next day air shipments. I would let you know about any guarantees before shipping.
Shipping fees are a flat rate -$9.00 for Priority mail, for 1-6 frags, and $35.00 for next day delivery, for 1-6 frags.
Arrive Alive Guarantees? I will now guarantee arrive alive for priority mail deliveries, for a limited time, as well as, next day air deliveries under the following conditions. You must receive and sign for your package, (signature not required for priority mail) even if it is late or damaged on the first delivery try. If you arrange to have the package shipped to the post office (which I highly recommend!), you must pick it up and sign for it within 1 hour of the guaranteed delivery time. You must have a digital camera, and (1.) take a clear picture of the box before you open it, (2.) a clear picture of inside the box after you first open it, (3.) a clear picture of each frag bag, and finally, (4.) a clear picture of the coral itself which appears to be deceased (picture should be taken in water-if not in your tank, put it in a glass bowl with tankwater in it). I must receive these pictures E-mailed to me within 24 hours after delivery. (For Priority Mail deliveries, I will go by the time USPS claims to have delivered it). You must than immediately put it in a ziplock bag, cover it completely and thoroughly with table salt, put it in the freezer, and wait to hear back from me whether I wish it returned. I will not credit shipping!!! I also have the right to ask you to preserve the speciman and send it back to me, for which I will give an additional credit of $3.00. You must do the following if requested:
As stated above, after you have notified me of your loss, place the deceased specimen in a sealed Ziploc bag completely covered with table salt, and put it in your freezer until it is ready to be mailed. Never discard specimens without authorization from me, or you will not be eligible for a credit. If you are asked to return the deceased coral, take it out of the freezer and put into a small, sealed tupperware container and put in the smallest box you can find filled with popcorn or wadded up newspapers. (Please do not return deceased specimens in the original shipping box). Send it back USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. E-mail me the Delivery Confirmation label number. Don't take speciman out of freezer until you are ready to ship. Once I receive the deceased specimen(s) from you, I will issue credit to your paypal account, plus $4.00. All of these things must be done, or you are not eligible for a credit.
How do I package my orders? After much experimentation, I have settled on the following method. Frags are double bagged with Kordon Breathing bags. The bags allow oxygen to enter the bag and carbon dioxide to exit. Since the bags respire, please follow the directions on the bag for acclimation - Do not float bags! The box will be filled with styrofoam popcorn and packed tight. If possible, the frag will also have a piece of styrofoam rubberbanded to the small rock it is mounted on and floated upside down. I have had excellent results in my tests and actual shipping with all types of corals. During cold weather, I will add a 60 hour heat pack for priority mail deliveries ($1.25 extra), and a 20 hour heat pack for next day air ($.75 extra)
