Never before Seen "Cosmic Swirl" frags and lots more Purple Hornets!

ckusnierek · 10-30-2009, 12:58 AM

OK I hated to do this but I really need some $$$ Times are tough!

I have had this coral for some time. It grows like no other favia I have ever seen. I was unable to ever find an ID on this. So I named it "Cosmic Swirl" Not my first choice but coralpedia does not let you use personal names anymore.

You can see it listed here:
CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive repository for named Corals!

This coral is kinda a cross between a Mia's POG and Baby's Breath.
The guys at coralpedia said it was the "nicest favia they have ever seen"

It is stunning and my photos do it no justice.
PICKS UNDER 14K NO ACTINICS NO PS!!
Yes I named it! Lineage starts with me!

Here is just one of my colonies:

You can see the new growth is the most amazing...

Frags are penny sized (on 1.5" discs)
In my tank this coral would cover the disc in less than 6 months!
I am only selling 5 of these frags for now.
$100 per frag!
Buy 2 and get free shipping
Actual frags:

Next up
TRUE TYREE War Coral!
SUPER LARGE FRAGS
From left to right
left $30
Left Middle $70
Right Middle $40
Right $50

Mother:
(very old pic)

14 Head Blastomussa Merleti dark maroon bright green center
$60 you cannot see all the heads in the pic but there are much more than 14

Super NEON GREEN Candy Cane
HUGE HEADS 1/2 dollar when puffed up. also a very fast grower.

$7 per head 3 min. You will get more than 3 since they grow in clusters of 3-5.

And finally I will sell 2 polyps of Purple Hornets. These are the real deal! Look for yourself. I'm horrible at taking pics and have a crappy camera.

$45pp both for $80

No that is not Cyano on the plug it's just a very maroon coraline.
the bases of the hornets are not too close and I will have not problem cutting 2 polyps off with my mini diamond saw. I will not cut the polyps flesh.

I also have lots of SPS avaliable. $10 per 1"-2" frag
Tri-Color
ORA green Birdsnest
Teal stag
Green stag
Blue tip stag
Orange cap
Green w/ purple rim cap
green with purple tips acro
green with pink tips acro
Pink Birdsnest
Green Slimmer
Pink/blue polyp acro
Pink w/ blue tip millie
yellow w/ purple polyps encrusting monti
Montipora Confusa
and more...

SHIPPING
$35 USPS EXPRESS from 46514 If available
Pickups OK (Northern Indiana)
Roughly $50 USPS RED.

FREE SHIPPING IF YOU SPEND $200 (USPS EXPRESS ONLY)

I ship in insulated boxes. I have shipped 20+ boxes of corals in the last few years with only one issue (shipper related) heat packs or ice depending on where you are. I look at the weather and decide if I need ice or heat. If I feel there will be a delay due to weather I will postpone shipping!

I cannot give a guarantee. I do not have a business and only sell a few times a year. I do guarantee the coral will be packed with care and healthy when they leave my house.

BigJay · 10-30-2009, 02:11 AM

Nice looking frags Chris!

I've bought 15+ frags from Chris .. definetly a trustworthy person.

ckusnierek · 10-30-2009, 02:16 AM

Thanks Jay!
Honestly I hated chopping up that favia But I really want 3 250w Radiums!
And I just don't have the $$$ right now!

FWIW everyone. I'm only selling 5 of these. I have 14 frags plus another whole colony. I'm going to let the rest grow out and cover the plugs. It will take about 6 month to a year.

I have only sold 3 other frags NO ONE HAS THIS!
