Purple Gorgonia 6-8in. high

Purple tip Neon Green Frogspawn $49

Anyone looking for a showpiece clam?

Thats all for now!

Travis · 11-29-2005, 01:29 AM

Nice! Where?

Newt · 11-29-2005, 03:13 AM

Oh sorry, I won't keep them to myself..LOL

www.reefscience.com for all of them, never ordered from them but have heard good things...plus at those prices!

Newt · 11-29-2005, 03:14 AM

I was thinking about the Blueberry gorg, but don't get paid until later this week...maybe if it sticks around.

Witfull · 11-29-2005, 11:46 AM

$700 clam? does that come with the crack they are smokin'?

Newt · 11-29-2005, 11:57 PM

Well I don't like the price, but the clam is gorgeous!

big t · 11-30-2005, 08:04 AM

That is by far and away the most unusual and beautiful squamosa I have ever seen. Can you imagine how bad a$$ that thing will be when it is a 20" monster in a couple years?

FragMaster · 12-02-2005, 02:10 AM

I have seen 12" gigas go for $500 but NEVER have I seen a squamy go for $700 for a 5 inch specimen. LOL! It is nice though!

Mirugai sashimi for only $12 last night! Enough cost for a giant clam for me. Awesome lookin' specimens!

nikki · 08-10-2006, 09:29 PM

Please post pics if anyone out there has one of these and any info you could share about them; I plan to get one someday soon.
Bali Blue Sea Fan
(Acalycigorgia sp.)

Stats
Care Level: Moderate
Lighting Requirements: Low to Moderate
Water Flow: Moderate to High
Aggressiveness: Peaceful
Range: Bali
Family: Acanthogorgiidae
Water Conditions: 74-80° F; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12

Notes: The Bali Blue Sea Fan grows in beautiful tree-like formations like underwater bonsai. Its branches are rusty colored and covered with beautiful blue polyps.

Underwater epoxy is useful in attaching the sea fan securely in your reef aquarium. Place it in an upright position in the bottom two-thirds of the aquarium. Although it does not require bright lighting it can be kept under bright lights providing algae does not begin to grow on it. Placing it so moderate to high currents will be able to supply it with necessary nutrients and trace elements will also help deter algae from growing on it.

Since this sea fan is not photosynthetic, it relies on additions of trace elements, marine snow, phytoplankton, and food for filter feeders to maintain proper health.

A little warning on Blueberry Gorgonian, they almost always will die. I tried one was in great shape when I bought it ($15.00), but really no one knows what they eat. I feed very heavy about 18 different foods each day (I have been able to keep a Dendronepthea alive, but not thriving, for 11 months) but my BG, died after 1 month. If someone buys it and keeps it alive for more than one year, I hope you document on what and how you fed it. This has just been my experience, they are a great coral for sure!
