    OK, lets say a very good friend of mine had to leave town (suddenly) & will be out of his house this coming weekend. He's breaking his 180g tank down and if I help him with the breakdown, he's giving me all of his prize corals. Nothing but primo chalices & palys, montis & acros.

    I kinda almost soiled myself while he asked me, and I guess he mistook the look on my face as if I meant like "c'mon, are you kidding?". So he jumps right back and says, "...OK...OK...I'll buy all the beer too..!!!!?" I kinda kicked the dirt a little (won an academy award) and said, "well, me & Raquel had plans, but if you're buying the beer...." true story.

    So now, what would you do with 30 or 40 corals that you have very little room for & very little time to find "housing" for but you intend to keep. I could cut myself frags & sell the rest? These are very nice pieces like a peppermint stiped Bowerbanki, Fizzy Lizzy palys as round as a nickel, etc.

    Anyone ever done this or have any suggestions? :confused: :eek: :confused: :eek:
